Claim:
1. A method, comprising: automatically measuring, by a wearable device being worn on an external surface of a body of a user proximate a portion of subsurface vasculature, one or more physiological parameters during each of a plurality of measurement periods, wherein the one or more physiological parameters are measured by: using the one or more physiological parameters measured by the wearable device during the plurality of measurement periods to develop a baseline profile of the user, such that the baseline profile of the user includes patterns for how the user's one or more physiological parameters change over time; measuring, using the magnet, signal source, and detector in the wearable device, the one or more physiological parameters during one or more additional measurement periods to obtain additional data; detecting a change in condition from a comparison of the baseline profile and the additional data; and providing, via a user interface in the wearable device, a textual recommendation that the user take a particular action, wherein the textual recommendation is generated in response to the detected change in condition.
