Abstract

A technology for a swappable wearable device that is operable to monitor one or more physiological parameters of a user. Physiological measurement data from a physiological measurement sensor attached to the swappable wearable device or a physiological measurement sensor in communication with the swappable wearable device can be received at the swappable wearable device. The physiological measurement data can be stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to swappable wearable device. The stored physiological measurement data can be communicated to another swappable wearable device or a synchronization platform when a selected event occurs.

Claims

receive, at the swappable wearable device, physiological measurement data from a physiological measurement sensor attached to the swappable wearable device or a physiological measurement sensor in communication with the swappable wearable device;

store the physiological measurement data on a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to swappable wearable device; and

communicate the stored physiological measurement data to another swappable wearable device or a synchronization platform when a selected event occurs.

2. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, wherein the selected event includes:

receiving a data transfer request from the other swappable wearable device or the synchronization platform;

a selected time of day is arrived at;

a selected activity occurs;

or

the swappable wearable device is within a selected distance of the other swappable wearable device or the synchronization platform.

3. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, further configured to:

determine when the swappable wearable device has been removed from a user; and

communicate the stored physiological measurement data to the other swappable wearable device or the synchronization platform.

4. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, further configured to receive wireless power from the synchronization platform using a wireless transfer coil.

5. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, further configured to analyze the received physiological measurement data or the stored physiological measurement data to determine a selected physiological condition of the user of the swappable wearable device.

6. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, further configured to communicate selected data with another swappable wearable device or a computing device.

7. The swappable wearable device of claim 1, further configured to communicate backup information to the other swappable wearable device or the synchronization platform when a selected event occurs.

8. A swappable wearable device operable to take selected measurements of a user, having circuitry configured to:

receive, at the swappable wearable device, sync information from another swappable wearable device or a synchronization platform;

store the sync information on a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to swappable wearable device; and

take a selected measurement using a measurement sensor attached to the swappable wearable device or a physiological measurement sensor in communication with the swappable wearable device.

9. The circuitry of claim 8, further configured to normalize at least a selected portion of sync information with the physiological measurement data.
