Wearable devices and methods for providing therapy to a user and/or for measuring physiological parameters of the user

A wearable device for providing therapy to a user, the wearable device comprising:

• a wearable support to be worn by the user, wherein the wearable support includes a band and a wearable housing attached to the band;
• a plurality of inflatable bladders coupled to the wearable support;
• an air inflator including a motor to move air into the plurality of inflatable bladders to inflate the plurality of inflatable bladders and apply pressure to one or more acupressure points of the user during pressure therapy;
• a plurality of vibration motors coupled to the wearable support to generate vibrations to be felt by the user during vibration therapy;
• a plurality of thermal elements coupled to the wearable support to provide heat to the user during thermal therapy;
• a sensor housing mounted to the wearable support;
• a heart rate sensor mounted in the sensor housing to measure a heart rate of the user, wherein the heart rate sensor includes one or more optical sensors mounted in the sensor housing and one or more light emitting diodes mounted in the sensor housing;
• a user interface to activate the air inflator for the pressure therapy, to activate the plurality of vibration motors for the vibration therapy, and to activate the plurality of thermal elements for the thermal therapy;
• and
• a controller coupled to the user interface and operable in a plurality of modes, the controller configured to control operation of the air inflator, the plurality of vibration motors, and the plurality of thermal elements,
• wherein the wearable support has a layer of material that defines an opening and the sensor housing is mounted to the layer of material such that the sensor housing at least partially fills the opening relative to the plurality of inflatable bladders, wherein the sensor housing and the heart rate sensor move relative to the wearable housing upon inflation and deflation of the plurality of inflatable bladders.
