Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting sensor data are provided and include collecting physiological data and meta data from a subject via a sensor system, wherein the sensor system comprises a sensor element, a signal processor, and memory in communication with the signal processor. The subject meta data is processed by the signal processor to determine metric features, the metric features are processed by the signal processor to determine a subject-specific metric statistic for the subject, and the physiological data is processed by the signal processor to generate a sensor metric. The sensor metric is then presented for display via a display.

Abstract: A monitoring device configured to be attached to a subject includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor configured to measure physiological information from the subject, a blood flow stimulator, and a processor configured to process signals from the PPG sensor to determine a signal-to-noise level of the signals. In response to a signal-to-noise level determination, the processor is configured to instruct the blood flow stimulator to increase blood perfusion at a location where the PPG sensor is attached to the subject. The signal-to-noise level determination may be a determination that the signal-to-noise level is below a threshold level. The blood flow stimulator may be a heating element or light source configured to heat the location of the subject.
