Patent Images
1. A wearable physiological measurement system, comprising:
- a wearable strap configured to be couplable to an appendage of a user, the wearable strap comprising;
one or more light emitters for emitting light toward the user'"'"'s skin,one or more light detectors for receiving light reflected from the user'"'"'s skin, andan electronic circuit board comprising a plurality of electronic components configured for analyzing data corresponding to the reflected light to automatically and continually determine a heart rate of the user, the electronic circuit board comprising a processing module configured to;
based on one or more signals associated with the heart rate of the user, detect an identity of a portion of a user'"'"'s body to which the strap is coupled, andbased on the identity of the appendage, adjust data analysis of the reflected light to determine the 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. Based on signals associated with the user'"'"'s heart rate, the system may detect the location of the wearable strap on the user'"'"'s body, and then adjust its analysis of the reflected light data to determine the heart rate of the user.

14. A method comprising:
-
emitting light toward a user'"'"'s skin using one or more light emitters included in a wearable strap configured to be couplable to an appendage of the user; receiving light reflected from the user'"'"'s skin using one or more light detectors; automatically and continually determining a heart rate of the user using an electronic circuit board including a plurality of electronic components configured to analyze data corresponding to the reflected light, the electronic circuit board including a processing module; detecting an identity of a portion of a user'"'"'s body to which the strap is coupled using the processing module based on one or more signals associated with the heart rate of the user; and adjusting data analysis of the reflected light using the processing module to determine the heart rate of the user based on the identity of the appendage. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product comprising non-transitory computer executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs the steps of:
-
emitting light toward a user'"'"'s skin using one or more light emitters included in a wearable strap configured to be couplable to an appendage of the user; receiving light reflected from the user'"'"'s skin using one or more light detectors; automatically and continually determining a heart rate of the user using an electronic circuit board including a plurality of electronic components configured to analyze data corresponding to the reflected light, the electronic circuit board including a processing module; detecting an identity of a portion of a user'"'"'s body to which the strap is coupled using the processing module based on one or more signals associated with the heart rate of the user; and adjusting data analysis of the reflected light using the processing module to determine the heart rate of the user based on the identity of the appendage.
