WEARABLE DEVICES WITH MAGNETS ENCASED BY A MATERIAL THAT REDISTRIBUTES THEIR MAGNETIC FIELDS
A wearable device includes one or more sensors coupled to a wearable device structure that includes first and second outer surfaces, an interior, a first end and a second end. The wearable device structure includes and has a unique user ID. The one or more sensors acquire user information selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors, habit information, health parameters, medical monitoring and user monitoring. A plurality of magnets are at the first end and a plurality of magnets at the second end, with at least a portion of the magnets being at least partially encased with a material that redistributes a magnet's magnetic field. The wearable device is worn with the first and second ends being coupled by overlapping at least a portion of the first end magnets to at least a portion of the second end magnets.
