  • Patent number: 12073021
    Abstract: A wearable device that tracks body movement is disclosed. The device includes a housing and a connection member. The connection member is coupled to the housing, and the connection member enables the device to be coupled to a user's body part. This body part is associated with the conductive matter. The device includes an RF sensor in the housing. The RF sensor oscillates at a preselected frequency. The RF sensor is tuned to resonate when the RF sensor is located a preselected distance from the conductive matter. As the conductive matter moves closer or farther from the RF sensor based on user movement, a resulting waveform generated based on data from the RF sensor is modified, and the resulting waveform is usable to determine how the user moved.
