Abstract
The present disclosure relates to devices and processes that produce superior photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. In various embodiments, the present devices and processes leverage load backing, conformal contact, and strain isolation mechanisms to produce higher quality and amplitude PPG signals, and provide more repeatable results than previous devices and processes. In at least one embodiment, the devices discussed herein include a rigid support structure and elastic spacer for supporting a PPG sensor and various adhesive layers.
