The disclosed embodiments include a standalone handheld wellness device. The wellness device can have a housing with dimensions for being held in a palm of a user's hand. The housing can include an input mechanism that detects signals indicative of the user's physiological activity obtained from the user while the user is holding the wellness device in the palm of the user's hand, and processing circuitry that generates physiological information based on the obtained signals indicative of the physiological activity. The physiological information may indicate a pattern of a user's bodily function while the wellness device is held in the palm of the user's hand. The housing can also include an output mechanism that generates a physically perceptible output based on the physiological information such that the physically perceptible output is a physical rendering of the pattern of the user's bodily function.
