1. A method for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication, the method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, first biometric data from a first device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attached to a body of a user, wherein the first biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, second biometric data from a second device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attachable to the body of the user, wherein the second biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the second device;
comparing, by the one or more processors, the first biometric data and the second biometric data;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the second device is attached to the body of the user based on the comparison;
establishing, by the one or more processors, a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is attached to the body of the user; and
instructing, by the one or more processors, to detach the first device from the body of the user.
