Abstract
An electronic device is described herein that may include various components, including a band, a physiological sensor, a feedback sensor, a processor, a display, or a power source. The band may be shaped to fit around at least a portion of a body part of a user. The physiological sensor may include two separated by a fixed distance such that at least a portion of a signal transmitted by a first sensor is transmitted through a muscular-walled tube of the body part before being received by a second sensor. The processor may be operable to determine a physiological condition based on the signal received by the second physiological sensor. The physiological sensor may be embedded in the band. The band may be comprised of a flexible material. The feedback sensor may measure a pressure at which the band is held against the body part.
