Disposable oximeter device
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a pliable membrane having a semi-rigid structural member, the membrane configured to conform to a tissue surface and the structural member configured to retain a first portion of the membrane in a particular shape corresponding to the tissue surface and the membrane having an elongate second portion, the second portion connected to the first portion having a relief feature configured to allow flexure in a side to side direction, and the membrane including a third portion connected to the second portion, wherein the third portion includes a strap configured to at least encircle a user;
a sensor module coupled to the membrane, the sensor module configured to generate an electrical signal corresponding to a physiological parameter associated with the tissue surface;
a communication module coupled to the membrane, the communication module configured to receive the electrical signal and wirelessly communicate data corresponding to the electrical signal with a remote device.
