DETERMINING RECOVERY INDICATOR WITH A MEASURED RESTING HEART RATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021287 titled 'DETERMINING RECOVERY INDICATOR WITH A MEASURED RESTING HEART RATE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes embodiments of a physiological measurement system for continuous health and fitness monitoring. It introduces a wearable strap that detects reflected light from a user's skin to determine physiological attributes such as heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep quality. The strap can generate a recovery indicator that assesses the user's physical recovery state and readiness for exercise.

  • The patent application describes a wearable strap that uses reflected light from the user's skin to continuously monitor physiological attributes.
  • The strap can detect and monitor heart rate data, including resting heart rate and heart rate variability.
  • It can also assess sleep quality and generate a recovery indicator to determine the user's physical recovery state.
  • The recovery indicator provides a quantitative assessment of the user's readiness for exercise.

Potential Applications:

  • Health and fitness monitoring for athletes and individuals interested in tracking their physical well-being.
  • Remote monitoring of patients' physiological attributes for healthcare professionals.
  • Integration with fitness trackers and smartwatches to enhance their capabilities.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a non-invasive and continuous method for monitoring physiological attributes.
  • Offers a convenient and wearable solution for tracking health and fitness data.
  • Enables users to assess their physical recovery state and make informed decisions about exercise.

Benefits:

  • Continuous monitoring allows for real-time tracking of physiological attributes.
  • Non-invasive measurement method eliminates the need for invasive procedures.
  • Provides users with valuable insights into their health and fitness levels.
  • Helps individuals optimize their exercise routines based on their recovery state.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices, and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. a wearable strap may detect reflected light from a user's skin, where data corresponding to the reflected light is used to automatically and continually determine physiological attributes of the user. in particular, the wearable strap may be used to monitor heart rate data including a resting heart rate, a heart rate variability, and sleep quality—e.g., to generate a recovery indicator that provides a quantitative assessment of a physical recovery state of the user indicating whether the user is recovered and ready for exercise.
