  • Publication number: 20250009085
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250009086
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250009084
    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.
