A device configured to determine the location and magnitude of a touch on a surface of the device. The device includes a transparent touch sensor that is configured to detect a location of a touch on the transparent touch sensor. The device also includes a force-sensing structure disposed at the periphery of the transparent touch sensor. The force sensor includes an upper capacitive plate and a compressible element disposed on one side of the upper capacitive plate. The force sensor also includes a lower capacitive plate disposed on a side of the compressible element that is opposite the upper capacitive plate.

Force determination based on capacitive sensing

The present disclosure generally relate s to blood pressure monitoring. In some embodiments, methods and devices for measuring a mean arterial pressure and/or for monitoring blood pressure changes of a user are provided. Blood pressure measured by one or more pressure sensors may be adjusted using one or more correction factors. The use of the one or more correction factors disclosed herein may allow for more compact, convenient, and/or accurate wearable blood pressure measurement devices and methods. In particular, wrist-worn devices may be provided which are less bulky than current devices and may facilitate more frequent and accurate blood pressure monitoring.

Devices and systems for correcting errors in blood pressure measurements

A sensor layer, such as a force sensor layer, can be in included in an electronic device. The sensor layer includes a patterned compliant layer that is positioned between a first substrate and a second substrate. The patterned compliant layer includes multiple angled compliant elements that are angled at one or more angles with respect to the first and second substrates.

Sensor layer having a patterned compliant layer

A sensor includes a patterned compliant layer positioned between two substrates. Each substrate can include one or more conductive electrodes, with each electrode of one substrate paired with a respective electrode of the other substrate. Each pair of conductive electrodes forms a capacitor. Several methods are disclosed that can be used to produce the patterned compliant layer.
