Abstract: A wearable device that attaches to a body part of a user via an attachment member operates in at least a connected and a disconnected state. One or more sensors located in the wearable device and/or the attachment member detect the user's body part when present. Such detection may only be performed when the attachment member is in a connected configuration and may be used to switch the wearable device between the connected and disconnected states. In this way, the wearable device operates in the connected state when worn by a user and in the disconnected state when not worn by the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-invasive devices, methods, and systems for determining a pressure of blood within a cardiovascular system of a user, the cardiovascular system including a heart and the user having a wrist covered by skin. More particularly, the present invention discloses a variety of wrist-worn devices having a variety of sensors configured to non-invasively engage the skin on the wrist of the user for sensing a variety of user signals from the cardiovascular system of the user. Generally, approaches disclosed herein may passively track blood pressure values without any interaction required on the part of the user or may allow for on demand or point measurements of blood pressure values by having a user actively interact with the sensors of the wrist-worn device. Approaches disclosed herein further allow for absolute blood pressure values to be determined directly without the requirement for any periodic calibrations or for relative blood pressure values to be tracked so as to provide relative blood pressure indices.

Abstract: A system for operating a wearable device (203). The wearable device (203) is configured to operate in at least a connected state and a disconnected state and includes a photoplethysmographic sensor configured to detect a body part of a user, and an attachment member (202A, 202B) configured to transition between a disconnected configuration and a connected configuration, and attach the wearable device (203) to the body part of the user in the connected configuration. The wearable device (203) is configured to switch from the disconnected state to the connected state upon the photoplethysmographic sensor detecting the body part of the user while the wearable device (203) is operating in the disconnected state and after the photoplethysmographic sensor previously detected that the body part of the user was not present. The wearable device (203) is configured to switch from the connected state to the disconnected state upon the photoplethysmographic sensor attempting to detect the body part of the user while the wearable device (203) is operating in the connected state and the photoplethysmographic sensor not detecting the body part of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.
