Abstract: The present disclosure provides touch communication devices that can convey touch information to a human user and/or receive touch information from the human user. As one example, a touch communication device can include a plurality of tactile units. The touch communication device can individually control each of the tactile units to apply a respective pressure to a surface adjacent to such tactile unit. For example, the touch communication device can control the plurality of tactile units to convey a touch communication to a human user that has the touch communication device adjacent to a portion of his body. As another example, the touch communication device is configured to determine a counter-pressure applied to each tactile unit by the surface adjacent to such tactile unit. The touch communication device can generate information descriptive of a touch communication performed by the human user on the touch communication device.

Abstract: A wearable device can include a wearable band configured to contact a user of the wearable device, an actuator, a sensor, and one or more processors in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The processors can be configured to measure a back electromotive force (“EMF”) of the actuator; determine, based on the measured back EMF, data that describes a contact force between the wearable band and the user; and determine, based on the data that describes the contact force, a quality metric describing a data quality of sensor data collected by the sensor. In some embodiments, the processor(s) can determine, generate sensor output data based on the sensor data and based at least in part on the data describing the contact force between the wearable band and the user. For example, one or more machine-learned models maybe leveraged to generate sensor output data that is compensated for the wearable band being too tight or too loose.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing mediated social interactions are provided. For instance, a user input from a first user indicative a request to facilitate a provision of emotive contextual signals to a second user can be received. One or more emotive contextual signals to be provided to the second user can be determined based at least in part on the user input. The one or more first emotive contextual signals can include one or more haptic feedback signals intended to facilitate a mediated social interaction associated with the second user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and devices for non-invasively measuring a level of an analyte in a user using Stimulated Raman Scattering. A device can include a Raman pump source that emits pump light toward a tissue at a pump wavelength and a Stokes source that emits Stokes light toward the tissue at one or more Stokes wavelengths. The device can further include one or more mirrors and lenses. The device can further include a beam controller that controls the one or more mirrors and the one or more lenses to target the pump light emitted by the Raman pump source and the Stokes light emitted by the Stokes source at an optimal target location. The device can further include a photodetector that measures light that emanates from the tissue. The device can further include a processor that estimates the level of the analyte in the user.

Abstract: A wearable device includes at least one attachment member and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor comprising an integrated electrode pair physically coupled to the at least one attachment member. The electrodermal activity sensor is configured to provide an EDA signal in response to contact between the integrated electrode pair and a skin surface of a user. The integrated electrode pair includes at least two concentric electrodes radially separated by at least one insulator. Each of the at least two concentric electrodes includes an upper surface configured to contact the skin surface of the user in order to generate the EDA signal.

Abstract: A haptic system can include a user device including one or more haptic actuators and one or more sensors. The haptic system can be configured to perform operations including controlling the haptic actuator(s) to produce a haptic output based on a haptic output profile associated with a desired action of a user of the haptic system; detecting, using the one or more sensors, one or more user response characteristics in response to the haptic output; determining, based at least in part on the one or more user response characteristics, data describing a user action of the user performed after the haptic actuator(s) produces the haptic output; comparing the data describing the user action with data indicative of the desired action to generate an effectiveness metric; and determining a subsequent haptic output profile for a subsequent haptic output based at least in part on the effectiveness metric.
