Abstract

A wearable module assembly for an optical measurement system includes a first wearable module, a second wearable module, and a connector. The first and second wearable modules each include a light source configured to emit a light pulse toward a target within a body of a user, a housing that houses the light source and the plurality of detectors and includes a substantially hexagonal surface that faces a surface of the body of the user when the wearable module assembly is worn by the user, and a plurality of detectors each positioned at a fixed distance from the first light source and each configured to detect a set of photons included in the light pulse after the set of photons are scattered by the target. The connector directly connects the first wearable module and the second wearable module at mutually-facing side surfaces of the respective housings.
