1. A finger-worn wearable ring device, comprising:
an external housing component defining an outer circumferential surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device;
an internal housing component coupled to the external housing component, the internal housing component defining an inner circumferential surface of the finger-worn wearable ring device, wherein the internal housing component comprises a substantially transparent material that enables light to pass through the internal housing component;
a printed circuit board disposed within a cavity defined by the external housing component and the internal housing component, wherein the printed circuit board is configured to conform to arc within the cavity;
one or more light-emitting components electrically coupled with the printed circuit board, the one or more light-emitting components configured to emit light through the substantially transparent material of the internal housing component into a tissue of a user;
one or more light-receiving components electrically coupled with the printed circuit board, the one or more light-receiving components configured to receive, through the substantially transparent material of the internal housing component, the light transmitted by the one or more light-emitting components;
one or more processors configured to process data that is based at least in part on the light received by the one or more light-receiving components; and
a communication module communicatively coupled with the one or more processors, the communication module configured to transmit the data processed by the one or more processors.
