1. A method for determining a location of a sensor on a patient'"'"'s body, comprising:
- emitting light into a patient'"'"'s tissue with at least one emitter disposed on a sensor body;
detecting the light with at least one detector disposed on the sensor body;
determining a physiological parameter based on the detected light;
determining the location of the sensor based on the parameter; and
selecting calibration information based on the location of the sensor.

Abstract
A method is provided for determining the location of the sensor. The method comprises determining a physiological parameter based on detected light and determining the location of the sensor based on the physiological parameter. In addition, a method is provided for operating a sensor that includes calibrating a sensor based on a patient-specific physiological parameter, in which the patient-specific physiological parameter is skin color, age, gender, pooled blood, venous blood pulsation, or abnormal tissue.
