14. A method of detecting a biometric signal by a body-wearable device coupled to a user, the method comprising:
-
detecting, by a pressure sensor, a level of pressure applied by the body-wearable device to the user; providing an electrical signal to a high-polymer actuator included a coupling member that couples the body-wearable device to the user such that the high-polymer actuator expands or contracts the coupling member; and sensing, by the biometric signal sensor, when the high-polymer actuator expands or contracts the coupling member to a predetermined level of pressure, a biometric characteristic of the user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
