Abstract
When monitoring patients with a skin contact sensor it is important to ensure that this is properly attached to the skin. This is important both for patient safety and data quality. We have developed a skin-contact sensitive technology that exploits the capacitive coupling of the sensor to detect the quality of the attachment to the subject’s skin and ensure galvanic isolation between patient and sensor. The developed technology can be easily embedded in any optical probe design without adding weight of bulkiness to the probe and provides the capability to detect optical probe displacements and alert user/operators/ hospital staff.
