1. A system for assisting sensor position on a patient, the system comprising:
a probe comprising a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors comprising:
one or more first sensors configured to generate first sensor data representing one or more physiologic parameters of a subject, and
one or more second sensors configured to generate second sensor data representing a position of the probe;
one or more indicators; and
one or more processors communicably coupled to the plurality of sensors and the one or more indicators, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
while the probe is positioned at a first position on the subject, determine, based on the first sensor data, a first metric representing an effectiveness of the probe in determining the one or more physiologic parameters of the subject at the first position,
while the probe is positioned at a second position on the subject, determine, based on the first sensor data, a second metric representing an effectiveness of the probe in determining the one or more physiologic parameters of the subject at the second position,
compare the first metric and the second metric, and
indicate, using the one or more indicators, a suggested position adjustment of the probe to the user based on the comparison and the second sensor data.
