More Information
Summary:A wearable optical device embedded in a garment is described. The optical device is, in some embodiments, an optical sensor for optically detecting parameters of interest within muscle, such as during physical activity or when at rest. The parameters of interest include oxygenation level and/or hemoglobin concentrations in some situations. The detected parameters, such as oxygenation level, may be used to assess physical performance, such as the extent to which the muscle is utilizing aerobic or anaerobic processes. The garment is a compression garment in some embodiments to couple the optical device to a subject.
