16. A data collection method comprising:
-
providing a watch mounted to a wrist wherein the watch comprises circuits, memory and a pliable domed shape pressure plate that contacts a palm side of the wrist and that responds to movements of muscles and tendons in the wrist that correspond to varying grip pressures applied by a hand extending from the wrist; varying with respect to time grip pressures applied by the hand extending from the wrist; converting to digital data responses of the pliable domed shape pressure plate to the varying grip pressures applied by the hand extending from the wrist using at least one of the circuits; and recording the digital data to the memory to provide a record of a distribution of grip pressures with respect to time using at least one of the circuits. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
