1. A spectroscopy system, comprising:
a plurality of lighting devices, each of the lighting devices including:
a first container that delimits a cavity;
a first light source disposed in the cavity; and
a first cover structure arranged in front of the first light source, the first cover structure including a first electrode and a dielectric cap overlying the cavity, the first electrode configured to contact a body tissue, the dielectric cap disposed between the cavity and the first electrode;
a plurality of detection devices, each of the detection devices including:
a photodetector; and
a second cover structure in front of the photodetector and including a second electrode, the second electrode configured to contact the body tissue; and
a wearable structure configured to be mechanically coupled to the body tissue, the wearable structure including a plurality of housings, each of the housings configured to house a corresponding lighting device or a corresponding detection device.
