    Abstract: A biometrics device measures a biometric quantity of a body of a user while the user is in motion. The biometric device includes a sensor to measure the biometric quantity of the user and creates a sensed biometric signal. A coupling device couples the sensor to the body of the user. An emitter is electrically connected to the sensor, receives the sensed biometric signal, and emits an output signal to be received by the user such that the user can understand the biometric quantity as the user continues the motion.
