Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wearable device are described. A wearable device may include a first light-emitting component positioned within an inner circumferential surface of the wearable device at a first radial position and a second light-emitting component positioned within the inner circumferential surface of the wearable device at a second radial position, where the first radial position and the second radial position define a segment of the inner circumferential surface between the first radial position and the second radial position. Additionally, the wearable device may include a photodetector configured to receive light emitted by the first light-emitting component and the second light-emitting component. In some cases, the photodetector may be positioned at a third radial position within the segment of the inner circumferential surface between the first radial position and the second radial position, where the third radial position is offset from a radial midpoint of the segment.
