METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a physical activity information receiver circuit, configured to receive information indicative of physical activity;
a physical activity analyzer circuit, coupled to the physical activity information receiver circuit, configured to detect one or more activity parameters using the physical activity information, and to classify the physical activity into one of a plurality of activity levels using the one or more activity parameters, the plurality of activity levels including two or more categorical activity levels;
wherein the one or more activity parameters includes an activity intensity parameter, an activity duration parameter, or an activity transition pattern including a change or a rate of change from a first activity level to a different second activity level.

Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring physical activities or exercise are disclosed. A system can comprise an information receiver circuit capable of receiving information indicative of physical activities, and a physical activity analyzer circuit coupled to the information receiver circuit. The physical activity analyzer circuit can detect one or more activity parameters from the physical activity information, and classify the physical activity into one of a plurality of activity levels including a vigorous exercise, a moderate exercise, or a mild exercise or activities of daily living. The one or more activity parameters can include an activity intensity parameter, an activity duration parameter, or an activity transition pattern including a change or a rate of change from a first activity level to a different second activity level. The system can optionally include a heart failure detector that detects a HF event indicative of worsening HF using the activity levels.
