Abstract
A fibre optic sensor structure is proposed for recovering the most relevant physiological parameters aiming at identifying the different sleep phases. The device comprises a multimode loss fibre optic sensor built into a watch casing. The sensor structure generates micro-deformations and allows a sensor to be made which is sensitive enough to detect the composite signal from the patient´s wrist
