US Patent 11944432 Flexible oximeter sensor panel

Methods and devices monitor oxygen saturation levels in tissue. According to one aspect of the invention, a device is a sensor panel comprising a flexible substrate and a plurality of oximeter sensor units coupled to the substrate. In another aspect of the invention, the device is a sensor panel comprising a flexible substrate and a plurality of oximeter sensor units and a plurality of pressure sensors coupled to the substrate. Embodiments of the invention can be used to simultaneously measure oxygen saturation levels in many locations of a large tissue. Embodiments of the invention can be applied in diagnosing a medical condition involving a large tissue area where the oxygen saturation level is unstable.
