CONTINUOUS HEART RATE MONITORING AND INTERPRETATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- a strap shaped and sized to fit about an appendage;
a heart rate monitoring system coupled to the strap and configured to provide two or more different modes for detecting a heart rate of a wearer of the strap;
a sensor coupled to the strap;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the strap and configured to sense a condition based on a signal from the sensor and to select one of the two or more different modes for detecting the heart rate based on the condition, the processor further configured to operate the heart rate monitoring system to obtain continuous heart rate data using the one of the two or more different modes and to store the continuous heart rate data in the memory.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a device for continuous physiological monitoring as well as systems and methods for interpreting data from such a device. The device may support intelligent selection from among two or more different modes for heart rate detection. In addition, the acquisition of continuous physiological data facilitates automated recommendations concerning changes to sleep, recovery time, exercise routines and the like.

20. A computer program product for operating a wearable physical monitoring system including a sensor and a heart rate monitoring system configured to provide two or more different modes for detecting a heart rate of a wearer of the wearable physical monitoring system, the computer program product comprising non-transitory computer executable code embodied in a computer readable medium that, when executing on the wearable physical monitoring system, performs the steps of:
-
detecting a signal from the sensor; determining a condition of the heart rate monitoring system based upon the signal; selecting one of the two or more different modes for detecting the heart rate based on the condition; and storing continuous heart rate data using the one of the two or more different modes.
