Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a measurement accessory for use with a smartwatch. The measurement accessory can include a flexible strap comprising a top surface configured to align the flexible strap with an optical sensor of the smartwatch, a bottom surface configured to align a sample patch with the optical sensor of the smartwatch, and an optical path between the top surface of the flexible strap and the bottom surface. When the smartwatch is coupled to the flexible strap the optical path is configured to allow light emitted by the smartwatch to reach the sample patch and allow light reflected from the sample patch to reach the smartwatch.
