Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wearing detection are described. A method may include directing light from a first light emitting element to a first light detecting element via an optical interface, at least one of the first light emitting element or the first light detecting element dedicated to detecting a level of surface contact at the optical interface. The method may include measuring, via the first light detecting element, an amount of escaped light which escaped the optical interface, where the amount of escaped light is indicative of the level of surface contact. The method may further include controlling an activation of a second light emitting element and a second light detecting element based on the level of surface contact, at least one of the second light emitting element or the second light detecting element dedicated to measuring a physiological phenomenon at a user of the wearable device.
