Estimation of Individual's Maximum Oxygen Uptake, VO2MAX - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260142 titled 'Estimation of Individual's Maximum Oxygen Uptake, VO2MAX
Simplified Explanation
The wearable device described in the patent application is designed to estimate an individual's maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) during exercise by using heart-rate measurement data and exercise workload data.
- The wearable device includes a processor and a memory.
- The processor receives heart-rate measurement data and exercise workload data for an individual.
- The memory stores instructions for the processor to normalize the heart-rate with respect to the individual's maximum heart-rate to provide a data pair of normalized heart-rate (HRn) and exercise workload (w).
- A probabilistic model is applied to relate HRn to w and maximum oxygen uptake to provide an estimate of VO2max of the individual.

Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable device to estimate an individual's maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) during exercise. The wearable device includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive heart-rate measurement data and exercise workload data for an individual of the wearable device. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to obtain the heart-rate and exercise workload of the individual, normalize the heart-rate with respect to the individual's maximum heart-rate to provide a data pair of normalized heart-rate (HRn) and exercise workload (w), and apply a probabilistic model that relates HRn to w and maximum oxygen uptake to provide an estimate of maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) of the individual.
