Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a wearable electronic device, such as a bracelet, coupled to a plurality of electronic components (which may include any type of components, elements, circuitry, etc.). One particular implementation of a wearable electronic device may include a plurality of sensors configured to measure at least one health parameter of a first user associated with the wearable electronic device, and a control module in communication with the plurality of sensors. The control module includes a processor configured to receive a plurality of health parameter measurements from at least a subset of the plurality of sensors, and determine a general health state of the first user based upon the received health parameter measurements.
Claims22
A wearable electronic device comprising:
- a strap portion to be worn on a user, the strap portion having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge;
- a first sensor contact and a second sensor contact, the first sensor contact and the second sensor contact carried by the strap portion, at least a portion of the first sensor contact and at least a portion of the second sensor contact between the first edge and the second edge of the strap portion, the first sensor contact and the second sensor contact in a row, opposite ends of the strap portion to couple to a housing of the wearable electronic device such that a display screen carried by the housing is viewable when the strap portion is worn by the user, the first sensor contact and the second sensor contact on an opposite side of an appendage of the user from the display screen when the strap portion is worn by the user;
- and
- sensor circuitry in circuit with the first sensor contact and the second sensor contact, the sensor circuitry to output a signal indicative of a health parameter of the user, the display screen to display health information, the health information based on the signal output by the sensor circuitry.
A wearable electronic device, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- a band to be worn by a user, at least a portion of the band including a flexible material, the band having a first end and a second end, the second end opposite the first end;
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode carried by the band, the first electrode and the second electrode in row;
- a housing;
- a display screen carried by the housing, a first side of the housing coupled to the first end of the band and a second side of the housing coupled to the second end of the band, the first electrode and the second electrode opposite the display screen when the band is worn by the user, a first portion of the band between the first electrode and the first side of the housing curved and a second portion of the band between the second electrode and the second side of the housing curved when the band is worn by the user;
- and
- sensor circuitry in circuit with the first electrode and the second electrode, the sensor circuitry to output a signal indicative of a health parameter of the user, the display screen to display health information, the health information based on the signal output by the sensor circuitry.
A wearable electronic device to be worn on a wrist of a user, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- first means for measuring a bioelectrical signal from the user;
- second means for measuring the bioelectrical signal from the user, the bioelectrical signal indicative of a health parameter of the user;
- a display screen;
- a strap assembly to carry the display screen on a first side of the wrist and to carry the first means for measuring and the second means for measuring on a second side of the wrist opposite the first side, the strap assembly defining a first edge and a second edge, the second edge opposite the first edge, the first means for measuring including a first electrode and the second means for measuring including a second electrode, the first electrode aligned relative to the second electrode between the first edge and the second edge of the strap assembly;
- and
- display control means to cause health information to be displayed on the display screen, the health information based on the bioelectrical signal.
