1. A wearable device comprising:
- an inward-facing surface;
an outward-facing surface;
a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the inward-facing surface;
a worn-status module to detect a worn-status of the wearable device and set the notification mode to a light notification mode when the worn-status indicates the wearable device is not being worn;
a message module to receive a message; and
a notification module to, based on the receipt of the message and the worn-status of the wearable device, control the plurality of light emitting elements.

Abstract
A wearable device may include an inward-facing surface, an outward-facing surface, and a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the inward-facing surface. A worn-status module of the wearable device may detect a worn-status of the wearable device and set the notification mode to a light notification mode when the worn-status indicates the wearable device is not being worn. A message module of the wearable module may receive a message. A notification module of the wearable device may, based on the receipt of the message and the worn-status of the wearable device, control the plurality of light emitting elements.
