Flexible wearable device

Abstract

A wearable device is described. The wearable device may be comprised of one or more flexible materials, and thus may be referred to as a flexible wearable device. The flexible wearable device may include a flexible housing made of an elastically deformable material, wherein the flexible housing at least partially surrounds a component of the flexible wearable device. The flexible housing may include an aperture disposed within a surface of the flexible housing to enable light to be transmitted and received through the flexible housing. The flexible wearable device may also include a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed within the flexible housing (e.g., within a cavity formed by the flexible housing). The PCB may include sensors configured to acquire physiological data of the user by emitting and receiving light via the aperture. The PCB may be comprised of a flexible region that is elastically deformable.
