Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for displaying a user interface (“

  • UI”

    ), comprising;

    providing a wearable monitoring system configured to collect respiration monitoring data;

    receiving the respiration monitoring data reflecting moment by moment activities of one or more physiological systems of a monitored subject during one or more time intervals with said monitoring system;

    displaying a computer UI comprising one avatar representing said monitored subject'"'"'s upper torso, said avatar having a plurality of integrated moment by moment visual images representing a plurality of said monitoring physiological systems;

    wherein said moment by moment visual images of said physiological systems are controlled by said received respiration monitoring data so as to stimulate moment by moment function of said monitoring physiological systems; and

    wherein at least one of said monitored physiological systems comprises said monitored subject'"'"'s respiratory system, and wherein said plurality of integrated moment by moment visual images includes a first plurality of moment by moment images that represent at least one lung of said monitored subject and a second plurality of moment by moment images that represent said monitored subject'"'"'s chest, said first and second plurality of moment by moment images being controlled by the respiration monitoring data, whereby at least a portion of said first and second plurality of moment by moment images expand and contract with a concurrently measured respiration rate and with an amplitude proportional to concurrently measured respiratory volumes, whereby respiratory system dysfunction can be detected.
