Continuous health and fitness monitoring wearable strap system
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240021287A1) describes a system that includes a wearable strap, a remote server, and a user device. The wearable strap is equipped with light emitters and detectors to monitor physiological data from the user's skin continuously. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to the user device, which streams it to the remote server. The server processes this data to calculate heart rate, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep quality, and physical recovery indicators. These indicators are used to assess the user's readiness for exercise and are displayed on the user device's interface.
Furthermore, the system can update the recovery indicator based on the user's activity or additional physiological data collected from the wearable strap. The remote server can also detect exercise activity, generate an intensity score for the exercise, and adjust the recovery indicator accordingly. The system aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the user's health status, including heart rate metrics, sleep quality, and recovery readiness. Additionally, the system can automatically modify the user's exercise plan based on the recovery indicator and transmit the altered plan to the user device for display, aligning with the user's health goals.
