SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF EXERCISE PERFORMANCE METRICS
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating an exercise, the method comprising:
- pre-recording a three-dimensional avatar representing an exemplary instance of a prescribed exercise;
generating a three-dimensional real-time avatar of a patient performing the prescribed exercise; and
graphically comparing the pre-recorded avatar and the real-time avatar.

Abstract
The present technology describes various embodiments of systems and methods for remote monitoring of exercise performance metrics. In several embodiments, for example, a method of evaluating an exercise performed by a patient includes providing the patient with a pre-recorded avatar showing an exemplary instance of a prescribed exercise. The method further includes sensing the patient'"'"'s movement during an exercise session and generating a real-time avatar based on the sensing. The pre-recorded avatar can be overlaid with the real-time avatar. The graphic overlay readily shows the patient whether and where his motion and/or body position deviate from the prescribed exercise. The overlay can be made in real time. In several embodiments, the patient'"'"'s independently-recorded avatar and/or performance metrics are transmitted to the exercise prescriber to monitor the fidelity with which the patient is able to reproduce the exercise outside the prescriber'"'"'s supervision.
