Physiologic Database And System For Population Modeling And Method of Population Modeling
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring and recording parameters of a subject engaged in a physical activity, the monitoring system comprising:
- a monitoring garment adapted to cover at least a portion of a subject'"'"'s torso;
a sensor subsystem including a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first and second sensors are responsive to changes in distance therebetween, wherein the sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit a distance signal representative of the distance between the first and second sensors, wherein the first and second sensors are incorporated into the garment, and wherein the first and second sensors are proximate to a subject'"'"'s chest region when the garment is worn by the subject; and
a database configured to receive and store the distance signal, wherein the database is further configured to receive and store a second signal, and wherein the database is configured to compare information represented by the first signal with information represented by the second signal.

Abstract
The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for creating a physiologic database or library that can be indexed to at least health, disease, patient characteristics, and acute medical crises or other dangerous condition. The present invention also provides apparatuses and methods for creating an athletic performance database or library. The database can be structured and continuous/pseudo-continuous modeling statistics applied to provide novel insight into performance and progress of an athlete or group of athletes, as well as standing relative to other athletes, or to provide novel insight into the natural history of disease and the response to treatment, and ultimately to improve care delivery.

8. A database system for population modeling, the database system comprising:
-
a data acquisition subsystem configured to generate and transmit a first signal; and a processor subsystem in communication with the data acquisition subsystem, wherein the processor subsystem is configured to receive the first signal and process the first signal to obtain a first parameter signal that is representative of a parameter of the subject and to transmit the first parameter signal to a database, the database being configured to receive and store the first parameter signal, wherein the database is configured to receive and store a second parameter signal representative of a parameter of a second subject, and wherein the database is configured to compare the first parameter signal with the second parameter signal to determine similarities between the parameter information contained in the first parameter signal and the second parameter signal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for modeling a population, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first signal from a first subject; processing the first signal with a processor subsystem to obtain a first parameter signal that is representative of a parameter of the first subject; transmitting the first parameter signal to a database; associating the first parameter signal with at least one of demographic information and performance history of the first subject; and storing the first parameter signal in a database in association with at least one of demographic information of the first subject and performance history of the first subject, comparing the first signal with a second parameter signal in the database. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
