1. A device configured to be worn by a user comprising:

  • a housing configured to be worn along an appendage of a user, the housing including;

    a sensor, such that upon proper placement of the housing on the appendage of the user, the sensor is aligned at a first orientation that is directly on or over the appendage of the user;

    a processor; and

    a non-transitory computer-readable medium that comprises computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor perform at least;

    receiving first sensor data from the sensor at a first time period in which the sensor is located at a first location of a plurality of locationscalculating, using the first sensor data, a first value of a physiological parameter for the user;

    instructing the user to perform a specific activity configured to trigger a known tension within a specific muscle within the appendage at the first location;

    receiving second sensor data from the sensor during the specific activity;

    calculate, using the second sensor data, a second value of the physiological parameter for the user; and

    comparing the first value for the physiological parameter to the second value for the physiological parameter,wherein if the first value for the physiological parameter is within a threshold range of the second value for the physiological parameter, communicate a notification to the user that a calibration is complete and the device is positioned correctly on the appendage of the user, andwherein if the first value for the physiological parameter is outside of a threshold range of the second value for the physiological parameter, instruct the user to reposition the device on the appendage to a second location within the plurality of locations.
