Abstract

A nutrition and activity management system is disclosed that monitors energy expenditure of an individual through the use of a body-mounted sensing apparatus. The apparatus is particularly adapted for continuous wear. The system is also adaptable or applicable to measuring a number of other physiological parameters and reporting the same and derivations of such parameters. A weight management embodiment is directed to achieving an optimum or preselected energy balance between calories consumed and energy expended by the user. An adaptable computerized nutritional tracking system is utilized to obtain data regarding food consumed, Relevant and predictive feedback is provided to the user regarding the mutual effect of the user'"'"'s energy expenditure, food consumption and other measured or derived or manually input physiological contextual parameters upon progress toward said goal.

Claims

1-278. -278. (canceled)

279. A system comprising:

one or more sensors disposed in a wearable computing device;

a processor in electronic communication with said one or more sensors, said processor;

receiving data indicative of at least one of baseline data and initial goals of a user based on one or more health-related characteristics of said user, said at least one of baseline data and initial goals further comprising one or more analytical indicators of said user;

obtaining detected data from said one or more sensors, said detected data being indicative of said one or more health-related characteristics of said user and other ones of users in conjunction with other ones of said wearable computing device;

collecting and storing said detected data in an historical record, said historical record further comprising a plurality of values of said detected data for a preselected time period;

deriving said one or more analytical indicators of said user relating to said health-related characteristics of said user from said detected data and said historical record;

comparing said detected data and historical data of said user with at least one of said baseline data and said initial goals of said user; and

generating a graphical representation of at least one of said one or more analytical indicators of said user;

a display device in electronic communication with said processor, said display device displaying;

at least one of said analytical indicators of said user; and

a user input device in electronic communication with said processor, said user input device;

receiving and relaying, to said processor, user selections for display parameters for said detected data and said one or more analytical indicators, the selection of said display parameters determining the composition of the display of said at least one analytical indicator correlated with the values of said detected data and said historical data on said display device.

280. The system of claim 279, wherein at least one of said baseline data and said initial goals is graphically displayed on said display device in combination with a current value of at least one of said analytical indicators and said derived data.

281. The system of claim 279, wherein said at least one analytical indicator is selected from the group consisting of:

sleep, activity level, nutrition, mind centering and a subjective evaluation, by said user, of at least one of said user'"'"'s physical or psychological condition.

282. The system of claim 281, wherein said at least one analytical indicator relates to nutrition and the value of said parameter further comprises caloric intake.

283. The system of claim 281, wherein said at least one analytical indicator relates to activity level and the value of sad parameter further comprises calories burned.

284. The system of claim 279, wherein at least one of said display device and said processor is mounted on said wearable computing device.

285. The system of claim 279, wherein said processor generates at least one of a contemporaneous visible, audible or tactile indication of a preselected user condition.

286. The system of claim 285, wherein said contemporaneous indication is generated based upon the contemporaneous value of at least one of said detected data and said at least one analytical indicator.

287. The system of claim 279, wherein said processor generates a graphical indication of said user'"'"'s progress toward said initial goal.

288. The system of claim 287, wherein said graphical indication of said user'"'"'s progress is displayed in combination with said analytical indicators on said display unit.

289. The system of claim 288, wherein said processor detects a condition of said user indicative of said user failing to meet said initial goals, based upon said detected data.

290. The system of claim 289, wherein said processor generates a suggestion for transmission to said user for improving said user'"'"'s progress with respect to said initial goal.

291. The system of claim 290, wherein said processor generates a suggestion for transmission to said user for improving said user'"'"'s progress with respect to said initial goal based upon said historical data and prior ones of said suggestions for transmission to said user for improving said user'"'"'s progress with respect to said initial goal.

292. The system of claim 290, wherein said suggestion further comprises a nutritional recommendation.

293. The system of claim 279, wherein said user-selectable display parameters are selected from the group consisting of time period, day, date, detected data values, selection of detected data types, analytical indicator values and selection of analytical indicators.

294. The system of claim 293, wherein said user-selectable display parameters are utilized to cause a display of at least one of historical detected data and historical analytical indicators of said user for user-selectable time periods.

295. The system of claim 294, wherein said user-selectable display parameters are utilized to compare at least one of derived data and analytical indicators for a first user-selectable time period and at least one additional user-selectable time period.

296. The system of claim 279, wherein said processor generates queries to said user on said display device, said user responds to said queries utilizing said user input device and said processor derives said one or more analytical indicators from said user responses.

297. The system of claim 296, wherein said processor further generates at least one suggestion on said display device relating to said user'"'"'s progress toward said user'"'"'s initial goals based upon said user responses.

298. The system of claim 279, wherein said processor generates a recommended activity level for said user based upon said analytical indicators.

299. The system of claim 279, wherein said processor derives said one or more analytical indicators of said user relating to said health-related characteristics of said user from said detected data and said historical record and said display device displays said one or more analytical indicators in conjunction with at least one value of said historical record.
