According to embodiments, a headcovering hat-based, and/or headband sensor assembly may provide an output to indicate when the sensor experiences abnormal forces or pressure. The sensor assembly may include features to increase the pressure against the tissue to allow the sensor to contact the tissue with sufficient force to obtain accurate measurement, but not so much force as to cause any discomfort for a patient.
1. An apparatus comprising: a headcovering capable of being applied to a patient's head;a substrate disposed on the headcovering;an emitter disposed on the substrate;a detector disposed on the substrate;a cable extending from the substrate through an open portion of the headcovering configured to be
1. An apparatus comprising: a headcovering capable of being applied to a patient's head;a substrate disposed on the headcovering;an emitter disposed on the substrate;a detector disposed on the substrate;a cable extending from the substrate through an open portion of the headcovering configured to be proximate to a top of the headcovering when the headcovering is applied to the patient; anda pressure sensor associated with the headcovering, wherein the pressure sensor is capable of providing a pressure indication, and wherein the pressure sensor comprises a colorimetric film and a reference color strip. 2. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the pressure sensor is disposed on the substrate. 3. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the headcovering comprises a neonatal stocking cap. 4. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, comprising a tightening structure capable of increasing the pressure of the substrate against the patient's head. 5. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 1, wherein the headcovering comprises a plurality of indicia for openings such that when the openings are formed along the plurality of indicia, a pressure of the headcovering against the patient's head lessens. 6. The apparatus, as set forth in claim 5, wherein the indicia comprise slits or holes. 7. A pulse oximetry system comprising: a pulse oximetry monitor; anda sensor assembly capable of being operatively coupled to the monitor, the sensor assembly comprising: a headcovering capable of being applied to a patient's head, wherein the headcovering comprises a plurality of indicia for openings such that when the openings are formed along the plurality of indicia, a pressure of the headcovering against the patient's head lessens;a substrate disposed on the headcovering;an emitter disposed on the substrate;a detector disposed on the substrate;a cable extending from the substrate through an open portion of the headcovering and configured to be proximate to a top of the headcovering when the headcovering is applied to the patient; anda pressure sensor associated with the headcovering, wherein the pressure sensor is capable of providing a feedback to the monitor. 8. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the feedback comprises an electrical signal. 9. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the pressure sensor comprises a displacement-based sensor. 10. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the pressure sensor comprises a colorimetric film. 11. The system, as set forth in claim 10, wherein the pressure sensor comprises a reference color strip. 12. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the pressure sensor is disposed on the substrate. 13. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the headcovering comprises a neonatal stocking cap. 14. The system, as set forth in claim 7, comprising a tightening structure capable of increasing the pressure of the substrate against the patient's head. 15. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the monitor is capable of displaying an indication when the pressure is generally not in the range of 16 mm Hg-90 mm Hg. 16. The system, as set forth in claim 7, wherein the monitor is capable of displaying an indication when the pressure is generally not in the range of 20 mm Hg-40 mm Hg. 17. A method comprising: emitting light into a tissue with an emitter;detecting the light with a detector;measuring a physiological characteristic based at least in part upon the detected light;detecting a force experienced by at least one of the emitter and the detector with a force-sensitive sensor; andadjusting the position of the emitter and the detector against the tissue with a headcovering comprising a plurality of indicia for openings when the force is outside of a predetermined range such that when the openings are formed along the plurality of indicia, the force lessens. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the force-sensitive sensor comprises a colorimetric film and a reference color strip.
