Optical Sensor System and Method for Measuring Physiological Parameters

A toilet seat assembly comprising:

• a toilet seat defining an upper surface;
• a sensor system arranged on the upper surface of the toilet seat and configured to sense a user on the toilet seat, the sensor system comprising
• a transparent cover configured to encompass the optical sensor system,
• a track system;
• an optical sensor, operably coupled to the track system, comprising at least one emitter and at least one detector;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to the optical sensor, wherein
• the optical sensor is configured to perform measurements comprising at least one physiological parameter, and
• the controller is configured to actuate the optical sensor to move the at least one emitter and at least one detector along the track system to at least one preferred location based on the at least one measured physiological parameter and at least one user parameter.

A method comprising:

• providing a track system, an optical sensor operably coupled to the track system comprising at least one emitter and at least one detector, and a controller operably coupled to the optical sensor;
• performing measurements by the optical sensor comprising at least one physiological parameter;
• and
• actuating the optical sensor by the controller to move the at least one emitter and at least one detector along the track system to at least one preferred location based on the at least one measured physiological parameter and at least one user parameter.
