    摘要: Systems and methods are described that enable sensing of magnetic fields within skin tissue. Specifically, a system includes one or more microneedles that include a high magnetic permeability material. The system also includes a magnetic sensor communicatively coupled to the microneedle and configured to detect a magnetic field proximate to the microneedle. The system also includes a controller configured to receive information indicative of a magnetic field proximate to a portion of the microneedle. The controller is further configured to determine a presence of at least one magnetic nanoparticle proximate to the portion of the microneedle based on the received information. Alternatively, other embodiments include a microneedle that includes a nanodiamond material configured to detect a local magnetic field. Such embodiments also include a light source configured to cause the nanodiamond material to emit characteristic emission light that may indicate at least a magnitude of the magnetic field.

    摘要: Optical measurement of physiological parameters with wearable devices often includes measuring signals in the presence of significant noise sources. These noise sources include, but are not limited to, noise associated with: variable optical coupling to skin or tissue, variations in tissue optical properties with time due to changes in humidity, temperature, hydration, variations in tissue optical properties between individuals, variable coupling of ambient light sources into detectors, and instrument and detector noise, including electrical noise, radio frequency or magnetic interference, or noise caused by mechanical movement of the detector or its components. The present disclosure includes devices and methods configured to produce representations of the raw data in which noise, broadly defined, is separated from the data of interest. The disclosed devices and methods may include subtracting or calibrating out these noise sources and other spurious fluctuations in wearable devices with optical sensors.

    摘要: Wearable devices configured to detect the presence, concentration, number, or other properties of nanoparticles disposed in subsurface vasculature of a person are provided. The wearable devices are configured to magnetize the nanoparticles at an upstream location of subsurface vasculature and to detect, using a magnetometer, magnetic fields produced by the magnetized nanoparticles at a downstream location of subsurface vasculature. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles are configured to bind to an analyte of interest and detected properties of the magnetized nanoparticles can be used to determine the presence, concentration, or other properties of the analyte. Detecting magnetic fields produced by the magnetized nanoparticles can include detecting the fields directly, detecting an effect of the magnetic fields on nuclear magnetic spins of atoms proximate the magnetized nanoparticles, producing a time-varying magnetic field and detecting a time-varying magnetic field responsively produced by the magnetized nanoparticles, or some other method(s).
