Abstract
A finger-worn wearable ring device may include a ring-shaped housing, a printed circuit board, and a sensor module that includes one or more light-emitting components and one or more light-receiving components. The wearable ring device may further include a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with an application executable on a user device.

(canceled)
A wearable ring device configured to be worn on a finger of a user, the wearable ring device comprising:
- a housing having an interior diameter between 12 mm and 24 mm, an exterior diameter between 18 mm and 30 mm, and a thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, the housing comprising:
- an external housing comprising an exterior surface of the wearable ring device;
- and
- an internal housing comprising an interior surface of the wearable ring device that is configured to contact the user when the wearable ring device is worn by the user,
- wherein the external housing and the internal housing at least partially enclose a curved battery, a printed circuit board, one or more components, and one or more processors, and wherein the curved battery has a size and shape configured to fit within a curved portion of the housing,
- wherein the one or more components are electrically coupled with the printed circuit board and the curved battery, the one or more components comprising:
- an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or both, configured to detect physical movement of the user;
- one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to emit visible light and one of infrared light or near-infrared light;
- and
- one or more light sensors configured to detect one or more of the visible light, the infrared light, or the near-infrared light to support measurement of a heart rate and a blood oxygenation level of the user, and
- wherein the one or more processors are individually or collectively configured to cause the wearable ring device to:
- determine a sampling rate for collecting data associated with at least one of the physical movement, the heart rate, or the blood oxygenation level via the one or more components based at least in part on the physical movement, the heart rate, or both.
