Abstract: Individual health related events (e.g., handwashing events) can be detected based on multiple sensors including motion and audio sensors. Detecting a qualifying handwashing event can include detecting a qualifying scrubbing event based on motion data (e.g., accelerometer data) and a qualifying rinsing event based on audio data. In some examples, power consumption can be reduced by implementing one or more power saving mitigations.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that predict a face configuration or hand pose of a user. For example, a device may include a structure and one or more antennas positioned on a portion of the structure. The device is worn on a head of a user. An associated process may be enabled to interpret data from the one or more antennas to discriminate deformation of a tissue geometry of at least one body portion of a user when the device is worn on the head of the user. The data from the one or more antennas may be associated with one or more impedance characteristics.

Abstract: Sensing circuitry of a first electronic device can be configured to sense a signal transmitted by the second, external electronic device contacting and coupling through the body of the user. The first electronic device can be configured to detect the contact while receiving data from the second device, and determine whether the signal transmitted by the external device corresponds an “intentional touch,” or corresponds to a signal coupling between a different body part and the external device or through a different signal pathway (e.g., electromagnetically, through the air, etc.).
