REAL TIME OPTO-PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM

Abstract

A method of monitoring a subject with an opto-physiological sensor system is described herein. The method comprises obtaining a model of the optical properties of at least one body tissue type to be monitored, wherein the model of the optical properties comprises a definition of static (DC) and dynamic (AC) components of transmitted optical power and a definition of a source-detector separation related to a normalised path length for an illumination source of the opto-physiological sensor: obtaining an indication of at least one physiological property of the subject from a wearable device worn by the subject: obtaining an indication of at least one physical variable from the wearable device worn by the subject; determining, using the opto-physiological model, how the at least one physical variable affects the at least one physiological property; and determining a corrected value for the physiological property based on the determination of how the at least one physical variable affects the at least one physiological property.
