Abstract
A probe device includes an optical device including at least one of a photodetector or a first light source. A cover structure is included and is arranged in front of the optical device. The cover structure includes an electrode which contacts, in use, a body tissue.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- an optical device including:
- a housing including an external surface and an external sidewall transverse to the external surface;
- and
- at least one of a photodetector or a first light source;
- a cap on the external surface of the housing of the optical device;
- an electrode on the cap, the electrode being configured to contact, in use, a body tissue;
- and
- a conductive wire coupled to the electrode, the conductive wire extends along the external sidewall of the housing.
