Patent attributes
A wearable monitoring device can include an electronics module containing a printed circuit board (PCB) to which one or more sensors are coupled. The one or more sensors can include one or more contacting sensors and/or one or more non-contacting sensors. In some cases, the wearable monitoring device can include an onboard power supply (e.g., a battery) and a wireless communication antenna. The PCB can be constructed to specifically include the one or more sensors on a first side facing the skin of the user when the wearable monitoring device is being worn, allowing one or more processors, memory, and other components to be included on the opposite side facing away from the user. Certain components, such as the power supply and wireless communication antenna, can be spaced apart from the PCB and located opposite the PCB from the one or more sensors.
