Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for tracking one or more physiological metrics (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and the like) of a user are described. For example, one or more light sources and one or more light detectors may be positioned on a wearable device such that light can be emitted towards the user's skin and further such that light reflected back to the wearable device can be measured and used to generate values for the one or more physiological metrics.
