Abstract

The disclosed embodiments include a system and method for improving corporate employee work performance. The disclosed embodiments provide an innovative approach to optimizing the talent and resources within an organization including, but not limited to, an individual employee, teams of employees, and to executives within the organization. Through the application of a multivariate model based on physiological, affective, and behavioral systems, the disclosed embodiments attempt to improve an employee'"'"'s vitality, vibrancy, wellness, and overall work performance.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method comprising:

obtaining, using a processor, from a plurality of physiological measuring devices, real-time physiological information of a participant before a training session and determining initiation of the training session based on the real-time physiological information obtained before the training session, wherein obtaining the real-time physiological information of the participant before the training session includes obtaining results of an initial breathing assessment to determine whether a carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal prior to initiating the training session, initiating a respiratory fitness training session on the participant in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is below normal, and initiating the training session in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal;

obtaining, using the processor, real-time physiological information of the participant during the training session, wherein the real-time physiological information includes information indicating how the participant physically and mentally reacts to training information during the training session; and

dynamically altering, using the processor, the training information during the training session based at least on the real-time physiological information.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing and combining results of the training session with results of past training sessions of the participant; and

using the combined results of the participant to modify future training sessions for the participant.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the work-related performance is performed in a corporate environment.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein altering the training information includes altering a training script.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the training script is an audio story.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the training script is an audio and video story.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the training script is a series of visual images.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein altering the training information is performed using a decision tree containing parameters associated with the physiological information.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the decision tree weighs certain physiological conditions higher than other physiological conditions.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining real-time physiological information of the participant after the training session.

11. A system comprising:

a data storage component for storing data and executable instructions;

a communication interface configured to receive, from a plurality of physiological measuring devices, real-time physiological information of a participant before and during a training session, wherein the real-time physiological information includes information indicating how the participant physically and mentally reacts to training information during the training session; and

a processor configured to execute the executable instructions to determine initiation of the training session based on the real-time physiological information obtained before the training session, wherein obtaining the real-time physiological information of the participant before the training session includes obtaining results of an initial breathing assessment to determine whether a carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal prior to initiating the training session, initiating a respiratory fitness training session on the participant in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is below normal, and initiating the training session in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal; and

dynamically alter the training information during the training session based at least on the real-time physiological information to optimize.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the communication interface is further configured to receive user input containing information about the participant that includes the user'"'"'s desired goal from the training session.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein altering the training information includes altering a training script, wherein the training script is an audio and video story.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the communication interface is further configured to receive real-time physiological information of the participant from a Quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEG) device, an Electro-Interstitial Scan (EIS) Device, and a heart rate variability (HRV) sensor.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the training session is configured to improve balance and focus during stressful work-related situations.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein altering the training information is performed using a decision tree containing parameters associated with the physiological information, wherein the decision tree weighs certain physiological conditions higher than other physiological conditions.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to obtain additional physiological information of the participant after the training session.

18. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed by a processor to:

receive, from a plurality of physiological measuring devices, real-time physiological information of a participant before a training session, and determine initiation of the training session based on the real-time physiological information obtained before the training session, wherein obtaining the real-time physiological information of the participant before the training session includes obtaining results of an initial breathing assessment to determine whether a carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal prior to initiating the training session, initiating a respiratory fitness training session on the participant in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is below normal, and initiating the training session in response to a determination that the carbon dioxide level of the participant is normal;

receive real-time physiological information of the participant during the training session, wherein the real-time physiological information includes information indicating how the participant physically and mentally reacts to training information during the training session designed to improve the participant'"'"'s work-related performance; and

dynamically alter the training information during the training session based at least on the real-time physiological information.
