one or more light sensors configured to detect the one or more of the visible light, the infrared light, or the near-infrared light emitted to measure the heart rate and the blood oxygenation level of the user.

2. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises:

a communication module configured to communicate with a software application executable on a mobile device.

3. The wearable ring device of claim 2 , wherein the communication module is configured to:

transmit data associated with the one or more of the physical movement, the skin temperature, the heart rate, and the blood oxygenation level from the wearable ring device to the mobile device to develop baseline parameters associated with the user.

4. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , wherein the external housing is made of metallic material and has an internal surface, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall, wherein the internal surface, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall form a C-shaped cross section and define an internal space of the external housing,

wherein the internal potting at least partially fills the internal space of the external housing, wherein at least a layer of the internal potting is an interior surface of the wearable ring device that is configured to contact the tissue of the user when the wearable ring device is worn by the user, and

wherein the internal potting adheres to the external housing, and wherein the external housing and the internal potting together enclose the curved battery, the printed circuit board, and the one or more components within the housing.

5. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more processors that are electrically coupled with the printed circuit board and, individually or in combination, configured to process data acquired from the one or more components, wherein the one or more processors, individually or in combination, are further configured to:

process the one or more of the visible light, the infrared light, or the near-infrared light detected by the one or more light sensors based at least in part on a reflectance, an absorbance, or both.

6. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more processors that are electrically coupled with the printed circuit board and, individually or in combination, configured to process data acquired from the one or more components, wherein the one or more processors, individually or in combination, are further configured to:

analyze the one or more of the visible light, the infrared light, or the near-infrared light to identify wavelengths that were absorbed by blood of the user to determine the blood oxygenation level of the user.

7. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , wherein the physical movement is indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user,

wherein, in response to the detection of the at least one gesture performed by the user, the wearable ring device is configured to send a signal to a mobile device to perform one or more functions external to the wearable ring device.

8. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a gyroscope,

wherein the gyroscope is configured to detect the physical movement of the user, wherein the physical movement is indicative of at least one gesture performed by the user, and

wherein, in response to the gyroscope detecting the at least one gesture, the wearable ring device is configured to send a signal to a mobile device to perform one or more functions external to the wearable ring device.

9. The wearable ring device of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises:

one or more actuators positioned within the housing and configured to provide haptic or physical feedback to the user.

10. A wearable ring device configured to be worn on a finger of a user, comprising:

a housing having a width between 3 mm and 8 mm, and a thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm, the housing comprising:

an external housing forming an exterior surface of the wearable ring device; and

an internal potting at least partially surrounding a curved battery, a printed circuit board, and one or more components, wherein the internal potting is substantially transparent to light,

wherein the curved battery has a size and shape configured to fit within the housing, the curved battery extending along a first portion of a curved perimeter of the external housing,
