Patent Images
1. A wearable physiological measurement system, comprising:
- a plurality of light emitters for emitting light toward a user'"'"'s skin;
a plurality of light detectors for receiving light reflected from the user'"'"'s skin;
a motion sensor for detecting a motion of the user; and
a processing module configured to;
determine a motion status of the user based on data received from the motion sensor, andbased on the motion status of the user, automatically and selectively activate one or more of the plurality of light emitters to determine a heart rate of the user.

Abstract
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 a heart rate of the user. The wearable strap may include a motion sensor that is used to determine a motion status of the user. Based upon the motion status of the user, the system may activate light emitters on the wearable strap to determine the heart rate of the user.

7. A wearable physiological measurement system, comprising:
-
a plurality of light emitters for emitting light toward a user'"'"'s skin; a plurality of sensors, comprising; a plurality of light detectors for receiving light reflected from the user'"'"'s skin; a motion sensor for detecting a motion of the user; and a processing module configured to determine a heart rate of the user based on light received by one or more of the plurality of light detectors, wherein the processing module is further configured to; process one or more signals generated by at least one of the plurality of sensors, and based on the one or more processed signals, automatically adjust an operational characteristic of one or more of the plurality of light emitters and/or one or more of the plurality of light detectors to minimize consumption of power by the wearable physiological measurement system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
