Abstract
A ring for photoplethysmographic (PPG) sensing performs transmissive PPG and/or reflective PPG. In particular, a ring and assembly methods therefor are described including for example connecting a rim to an inner ring via a bonding process, laying a printed circuit board (PCB) on the inner ring, aligning optical sensors of the PCB with ports of the inner ring, providing electrical connections between contact points on the PCB and the rim, and inserting an assembly including the ring, inner ring and PCB into an outer shell.
