Abstract
An ear sensor provides physiological parameter monitoring. The ear sensor may comprise an in-ear portion configured to fit in an ear of a user. The in-ear portion may include at least one light emitter configured to emit light into an ear tissue site of the user and at least one light detector configured output a signal responsive to at least a portion of the emitted light after attenuation by ear tissue of the ear tissue site.

2. An in-ear pulse oximetry device comprising:
-
an in-ear portion configured to fit in an ear of a user, the in-ear portion including; at least one light emitter configured to emit light into an ear tissue site of the user; and at least one light detector configured output a signal responsive to at least a portion of the emitted light after attenuation by ear tissue of the ear tissue site; and a cable portion extending from the in-ear portion and configured to communicate the signal from the in-ear pulse oximetry device to a receiver, the signal useable by the receiver to determine at least one of an oxygen saturation or a pulse rate of the user. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. An in-ear physiological measurement sensor comprising:
-
a base portion; an extension portion that extends at least partially into an ear canal of a user; one or more light emitters configured to emit light into an ear tissue site of the user; and one or more light detectors configured output a signal responsive to at least a portion of the emitted light after attenuation by ear tissue of the ear tissue site, the signal indicative of at least one physiological parameter of the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
