Adjustable Wearable System Having a Modular Sensor Platform
First Claim
1. A wearable system for measuring physiological data from a device worn about a body part of a user comprising:
- a base module, the base module comprising a display and a base computing unit;
a first sensor module configured to measure a gravitational force experienced by the device;
a second sensor module spatially positioned relative to the base module and over a portion of the body part for measuring one or more physiological characteristics calibrated based on the gravitational force measured with the first sensor module;
the base module being adjustably positioned by the user relative to the second sensor module such that the second sensor module maintains its positioning over the body part for sufficient contact with the body part for accurate measurements of physiological data regardless of an anthropometric size of the body part.

Abstract
A wearable system and methods for measuring physiological data from a device worn about a body part of a user is provided comprising a base module, a first sensor module, and a second sensor module. The base module comprises a display and a base computing unit. The first sensor module measures a gravitational force experienced by the device. The second sensor module is spatially positioned relative to the base module and over a portion of the body part for measuring one or more physiological characteristics calibrated based on the gravitational force measured with the first sensor module. The base module is adjustably positioned by the user relative to the second sensor module such that the sensor module maintains its positioning over the body part for sufficient contact with the body part for accurate measurements of physiological data regardless of the anthropometric size of the body part.
