Abstract

A system for displaying biometric measurements may include a first unit of time along a first axis, a second unit of time along a second axis, and a gradient block. The second unit of time may be smaller than the first unit of time. The gradient block may have a primary characteristic indicative of a primary characteristic of a cardiac event detected during a collection time and located at the interaction of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to a collection time of cardiac activity.

Claims

1. A system for displaying biometric measurements comprising:

a first unit of time along a first axis;

a second unit of time, smaller than the first unit of time, along a second axis; and

a gradient, block having a primary characteristic indicative of a primary characteristic of a cardiac event detected during a collection time and located at an intersection of the first axis and the second axis corresponding to a collection time of cardiac activity.

2. The system according to claim 1 wherein the second axis has a dynamically adjustable scale.

3. The system according to claim 1 wherein the gradient block has a secondary characteristic indicative of a secondary characteristic of the cardiac event.

4. The system according to claim 1 further comprising:

a plurality of gradient blocks each having a primary characteristic and located at respective intersections of the first axis and second axis corresponding to respective collection times of cardiac activity.

5. The system according to claim 4 wherein each of the plurality of gradient blocks is present only if a characteristic of the cardiac activity is above a threshold level.

6. The system according to claim 1 wherein the collection time has a duration of 30 minutes.

7. The system according to claim 1 wherein the primary characteristic of the gradient block is shade.

8. The system according to claim 7 wherein a darker shade corresponds to a primary characteristic of a cardiac event, of greater medical concern than a lighter shade.

9. The system according to claim 1 wherein a primary characteristic of the cardiac event is frequency.

10. The system according to claim 1 wherein the cardiac event comprises atrial fibrillation.

11. The system according to claim 1 wherein the first unit of time 48 comprises a calendar day;

wherein the first axis comprises the major axis;

wherein the second unit of time comprises the time of day; and

wherein the second axis comprises the minor axis.

12. A system for displaying biometric measurements comprising:

a first unit of time along a first axis;

a second unit of time, smaller than the first unit of time, along a second axis; and

a plurality of gradient blocks each having a primary characteristic indicative of a primary characteristic of a cardiac event detected during a collection time and located at respective intersections of the first axis and second axis corresponding to respective collection times of cardiac activity; and

wherein each of the plurality of gradient blocks is present only if a characteristic of the cardiac activity is above a threshold level.

13. The system according to claim 12 wherein the second axis has a dynamically adjustable scale.

14. The system according to claim 12 wherein the plurality of gradient blocks has a secondary characteristic indicative of a secondary characteristic of the cardiac event.

15. The system according to claim 12 wherein the collection time has a duration of 30 minutes.

16. The system according to claim 12 wherein the primary characteristic of the plurality of gradient blocks is shade;

and

wherein a primary characteristic of the cardiac event is frequency.

17. The system according to claim 16 wherein a darker shade corresponds to a greater frequency than a lighter shade.

18. The system according to claim 12 wherein the cardiac event comprises atrial fibrillation.

19. The system according to claim 12 wherein the first unit of time comprises a calendar day;

wherein the first axis comprises the major axis;

wherein the second unit of time comprises the time of day; and

wherein the second axis comprises the minor axis.

20. A system for displaying biometric measurements comprising;

a first unit of time along a first axis;

a second unit of time, smaller than the first unit of time, along a second axis having a dynamically adjustable scale; and

a plurality of gradient blocks each having a shade indicative of a frequency of detection of atrial fibrillation during a collection time, having a secondary characteristic, indicative of a secondary characteristic of the atrial fibrillation, and located at respective intersections of the first axis and second axis corresponding to respective collection times of cardiac activity;

wherein each of the plurality of gradient blocks is present only if the frequency of the atrial fibrillation detection is above a threshold level; and

wherein a darker shade corresponds to a greater frequency of detection than a lighter shade.
