Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for ensuring constant contact of a physiological sensor with a subject. A device may include a wearable band wearable by the subject, an elastic coupling member, a sensor module coupled by the elastic coupling member to the wearable band, a housing attached to the wearable band, a processor, and a user interface. The wearable band may include a recess extending into the wearable band. The elastic coupling member and/or the sensor module may be disposed within the recess. As the subject wears the wearable band, the elastic coupling member may press the sensor module against the subject and may cause constant contact between the sensor module and the subject. Electrical tracing embedded in the wearable band and extending from the sensor module to the housing may couple the sensor module to the processor or the user interface.
