A self-aligning photoplethysmograph sensor includes a flexible, resilient web loop having a circumference smaller than the circumference of a body part onwhich the photoplethysmograph sensor is to be used. The loop is formed by an inner loop of a resilient material covered by an outer loop of fabric. A red light emitting diode, an infrared light emitting diode, and a light detector are mounted on the inner surface of the inner loop with the light detector directly opposite the light emitting diodes. As a result, when the loop is placed around a finger, light emanating from the light emitting diodes shines through the finger and is incident on the light detector. A pair of conductive leads bonded to the inner surface of the inner loop extends in a serpentine manner from each of the light emitting diodes and the light detector to a cable junction on the outer loop. A cable has a respective plurality of wires that are connected at one end to the conductive leads and at the other end to respective pins of a cable connector that is mounted on the other end of the cable.
