Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for manufacturing a wearable ring device are described. An outer cover may be placed around a ring assembly, including a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to an inner cover, producing a first slot between the outer cover and the inner cover on a first lateral side of the wearable ring device and a second slot between the between the outer cover and the inner cover on a second lateral side of the wearable ring device. Additionally, a first and second side cover may be inserted into the first and second slots, respectively, where the insertion causes the first and second side covers to mechanically deform. In such cases, the mechanical deformation may cause the first and second side covers to engage one or more locking mechanisms of the inner cover, the outer cover, or both, to secure the inner cover to the outer cover.

Abstract: A wearable device, such as a wearable ring device, configured to transition between multiple discrete ring sizes is disclosed. The wearable ring device may include a discontinuous ring-shaped housing that extends radially around at least a portion of a circumference of the wearable ring device, where a first end and a second end of the discontinuous ring-shaped housing are separated from one another by a radial distance and configured to move relative to one another. The wearable ring device may further include one or more sensors positioned at least partially within an inner circumferential surface of the discontinuous ring-shaped housing, and one or more mechanical components configured to transition the wearable ring device between the multiple discrete ring sizes.

Abstract: A wearable device, such as a wearable ring device, configured to transition between multiple discrete ring sizes is described. For example, the wearable ring device may include multiple rings coupled to one another (e.g., adjacent, parallel, or concentric rings), where a user may manipulate or adjust the rings relative to one another to transition between multiple discrete ring sizes. In some cases, the multiple rings may be oval or elliptical-shaped, where rotating the rings relative to one another may change the size of the ring. In some other cases, the multiple rings may be threaded such that they may be screwed into and out of one another. In some other cases, the wearable ring device may include a long housing that may coil into itself to form multiple concentric loops, where coiling or uncoiling the concentric loops adjusts the ring size.

Abstract: A wearable device, such as a wearable ring device, configured to transition between multiple discrete ring sizes is described. For example, the wearable ring device may have an adjustable inner circumference and a rigid outer housing. The inner circumference may be adjusted to transition between multiple discrete ring sizes. For example, a wearable ring device may include a ring housing that exhibits a constant outer circumference, where mechanical components of the ring are configured to adjust at least a portion of an inner circumferential surface to transition the ring between the discrete sizes. The ability of the wearable device to transition between multiple discrete sizes may enable the wearable device to achieve a better fit on a user, thereby improving contact between one or more sensors of the wearable device and the skin of the user, leading to more accurate physiological data readings.

Abstract: A wearable device is described. The wearable device may be constructed of one or more flexible materials, and may be referred to as a flexible wearable device. The flexible wearable device may include a flexible housing that is made of a material that is elastically deformable, where the flexible housing at least partially surrounds components of the flexible wearable device. The flexible housing may include apertures disposed within the surface of the flexible housing to enable light to be transmitted and received through the flexible housing. The flexible wearable device may also include a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed within the flexible housing (e.g., within a cavity formed by the flexible housing). The PCB may include sensors configured to acquire physiological data from a user by transmitting light and receiving light through the apertures. The PCB may be constructed of flexible regions that are elastically deformable.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for analyzing fluid using a wearable device are described. The method may include collecting a bodily fluid of a user using a fluid collection component that includes one or more measurement channels configured to change color when exposed to the bodily fluid. Further, the method may include transmitting light associated with one or more wavelengths and generating one or more signals based on the light reflected off the one or more measurement channels of the fluid collection component and received by a wearable device. Moreover, the method may include determining a color of the one or more measurement channels based on the one or more signals and determining a presence or concentration of one or more substances within the bodily fluid based on the color.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wearable devices are described. A wearable device may include a first annular member forming the frame of the wearable device. The first annular member may include one or more deformable features that are configured to structurally weaken the frame of the wearable device and the one or more deformable features may be located along a portion of the frame. In some cases, the wearable device may include a first annular member and a second annular member to form a frame of the wearable device. The second annular member may include a non-metal material. The first annular member, the second annular member, or both, may include one or more deformable features that are configured to structurally weaken the frame of the wearable device and the one or more deformable features may be located along a portion of the frame.
