1. A sensor comprising:
- a single sensor body having a first surface configured to contact a patient when applied to the patient, comprising;
a first sensor subsystem disposed on the first surface of the sensor body, comprising;
a first emitter configured to emit light at one or more wavelengths;
a first detector configured to detect light at the one or more wavelengths;
a second sensor subsystem disposed on the first surface of the sensor body, comprising;
a second emitter configured to emit light at one or more wavelengths;
a second detector configured to detect light at the one or more wavelengths; and
an isolating portion separating the first sensor subsystem from the second sensor subsystem, wherein the isolating portion is disposed between the first sensor subsystem and the second sensor subsystem and forms a portion of the first surface of the sensor body and is configured to functionally isolate the first sensor subsystem from the second sensor subsystem when the first sensor subsystem and the second sensor subsystem are positioned on a common measurement surface.

Abstract
A multisystem sensor is disclosed that includes a first sensor subsystem and a second sensor subsystem. The multisystem sensor includes a sensor body having both sensor subsystems. The first sensor subsystem may monitor a first physiological characteristic and the second sensor subsystem may monitor a second physiological characteristic. The sensor body may include an isolating portion configured to isolate the first sensor subsystem and the second sensor subsystem. The sensor body and/or isolating portion may include refractive components and/or filters to prevent interference between sensor subsystems.
