Abstract: A wearable device can include a wearable band configured to contact a user of the wearable device, an actuator, a sensor, and one or more processors in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The processors can be configured to measure a back electromotive force (“EMF”) of the actuator; determine, based on the measured back EMF, data that describes a contact force between the wearable band and the user; and determine, based on the data that describes the contact force, a quality metric describing a data quality of sensor data collected by the sensor. In some embodiments, the processor(s) can determine, generate sensor output data based on the sensor data and based at least in part on the data describing the contact force between the wearable band and the user. For example, one or more machine-learned models maybe leveraged to generate sensor output data that is compensated for the wearable band being too tight or too loose.

Abstract: A wearable device includes at least one attachment member and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor comprising an integrated electrode pair physically coupled to the at least one attachment member. The electrodermal activity sensor is configured to provide an EDA signal in response to contact between the integrated electrode pair and a skin surface of a user. The integrated electrode pair includes at least two concentric electrodes radially separated by at least one insulator. Each of the at least two concentric electrodes includes an upper surface configured to contact the skin surface of the user in order to generate the EDA signal.
