Claim 10:
11. A method for obtaining at least one bodily function measurement comprising:
receiving user input indicating a request to obtain one or more bodily function measurements from a wearable device, the wearable device comprising:
an outer body shaped as a part of a wristwatch and configured to be wearable on a wrist of a user;
a first sensor positioned to be in contact with the user when the wearable device is used by the user, the first sensor configured to transmit first sensor signals;
a second sensor comprising a plurality of electrodes, at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes positioned to be in contact with the user when the wearable device is used by the user, the second sensor configured to receive second sensor signals; and
a multifunction surface or multifunction button configured to detect one or more user interactions, the multifunction surface or multifunction button comprising one or more electrodes;

transitioning, by a processor in response to receiving the user input indicating the request to obtain the one or more bodily function measurements, into a measurement mode from a normal course of operation of the wearable device, wherein the wearable device is configured to obtain background bodily measurements when in the normal course of operation;
receiving, in the measurement mode by the processor, the first sensor signals, measurements based on the second sensor signals, or a combination thereof; and
determining, in the measurement mode by the processor, one or more bodily function measurement based on the first sensor signals, the measurements based on the second sensor signals, or a combination thereof, the one or more bodily function measurements comprising a stress level of the user, a blood pressure of the user, a blood volume of the user, a hydration level of the user, a heart electrical activity in the user, a blood oxygen content of the user, or any combination thereof.
