Physiological Sampling During Predetermined Activities - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016400 titled 'Physiological Sampling During Predetermined Activities
Simplified Explanation
The disclosure relates to methods for measuring physiological signals during predetermined activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or biking. The system employs criteria to minimize the effects of the activity on the measurements, such as inter-sampling waiting time, continuous motion criteria, and post-physiological measurement time.
- Physiological signals measured during activities like walking, climbing stairs, or biking
- Criteria used to minimize activity effects on measurements, such as waiting time and motion criteria
- Continuous motion criteria tailored to specific activities, like walking state and step count criteria
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in fitness trackers, health monitoring devices, and sports performance analysis tools.
Problems Solved
The system addresses the challenge of accurately measuring physiological signals during physical activities that can affect the readings.
Benefits
Users can obtain more reliable and accurate physiological data during various activities, leading to better health and fitness tracking.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Physiological Monitoring System for Active Users"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing patents or products related to monitoring physiological signals during physical activities, but specific prior art would need to be researched.
Unanswered Questions
== How does the system differentiate between different types of physical activities? The system uses continuous motion criteria tailored to specific activities, such as walking state and step count criteria, to differentiate between activities.
== What impact does the waiting time between samples have on the accuracy of the physiological measurements? The waiting time between samples, as one of the criteria employed by the system, helps minimize the effects of the activity on the measurements by allowing the body to stabilize before the next measurement.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure relates to methods for measuring one or more physiological signals while the user is engaged in a predetermined activity. exemplary predetermined activities can include activities such as walking, climbing stairs, biking, and the like. the physiological measurements can include, but are not limited to, heart rate signals. the physiological measurements may be affected by the predetermined activity, so the system may be configured to employ one or more criteria prior to measuring physiological information to minimize the effects. the one or more criteria can include, but are not limited to, an inter-sampling waiting time, continuous motion criteria, predetermined activity criteria, a post-physiological measurement amount of time, and a confidence value. the continuous motion criteria can be based on the type of predetermined activity. for example, walking may have walking state criteria and a step count criteria.
