Abstract

See full text

The accuracy of physiological data measured through contact with skin can be validated by characterizing the forces at the surfaces where data is measured. Conventional devices do not monitor the fit of skin-based sensors, making the accuracy and confidence in physiological data dependent on the user ensuring that the device is fitted properly. Over time, the seating of a device will vary due to changes in user activity and the need to periodically remove a device. Inevitably, instances will arise where the device is not fitted correctly, which may result in skewed physiological metrics. By monitoring the forces acting on the housing of a device, the interface of skin sensors can be characterized allowing for confidence metrics in the corresponding physiological data to be determined. In some cases, a user can be notified when a device is not seated properly, and in some cases, data may even be calibrated based on the fit of a device.
