Abstract
A collar device is described herein comprising a housing including an emitter and a detector, wherein a base of the housing exposes the emitter and the detector. A spacer component comprising a plurality of optical pathways, wherein the plurality of optical pathways comprises a first optical pathway and a second optical pathway. The spacer component is secured to the base of the housing, wherein the first optical pathway is positioned over an emitter, wherein the second optical pathway is positioned over a detector. The emitter is configured to project light through the first optical pathway toward skin tissue of an animal. The detector is configured to detect portions of the light reflected by the skin tissue back through the second optical pathway. One or more applications running on at least one processor are configured to receive information of the reflected light and use the information to determine a biological metric.
