Fitness monitoring
View Patent ↗A mobile system for a user includes a telephone having one or more sensors to capture fitness data or vital sign data, the telephone having a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor to communicate fitness or vital sign data over a personal area network; and a processor coupled to the personal area network to process the fitness or vital sign data.
1. A wearable device, comprising:
a processor;
one or more sensors including an accelerometer for detecting movement;
a downloadable health application executed by a remote processor, wherein the health application receives movement data from the accelerometer or the one or more sensors and generates, using the movement data, an analysis of posture; and the health application drives a user interaction surface, including a display, in communication with the remote processor to display the analysis.
2. The wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising a wireless transceiver in communication with the processor to transmit the analysis over one or more networks.
3. The wearable device according to claim 2 , wherein the wireless transceiver communicates over a personal area network.
4. The wearable device according to claim 2 , further comprising a positioning system to provide location information of the wearable device, and wherein the display displays a map and, using the location information of the wearable device, displays a representation of the wearable device on the map.
5. The wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise at least one of: a gyroscope, a differential amplifier, an EMG detector, EEG detector, an EKG detector, an ECG detector, an electromagnetic detector, an ultrasonic detector, an optical detector.
6. The wearable device according to claim 1 , further comprising a speaker or an actuator.
7. The wearable device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor audibly outputs the analysis via the speaker or notify a user using the actuator.
8. The wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a bioelectric contact coupleable to a skin surface.
9. The wearable device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors comprise a heart rate sensor.
10. The wearable device according to claim 9 , wherein the heart rate sensor includes one or more light-emitting diodes.
11. The wearable device according to claim 10 , wherein one of the one or more light-emitting diodes emits infrared light.
12. A system, comprising:
a wearable housing including an accelerometer generating movement data;
a mobile phone processor receiving data from the wearable housing and running a health application that analyzes movement data; and a user interaction surface in communication with the mobile phone processor to display the analysis.
13. A system, comprising:
a wearable housing having one or more sensors including an accelerometer;
a downloadable health application to analyze posture and activity; and driving a user interaction surface to display posture or activity analysis.
14. The system according to claim 13 , wherein the wearable housing comprises jewelry or clothing accessory, further comprising a wireless transceiver for transmitting movement or posture data over a personal area network.
15. The system of claim 1 , 12 or 13 , wherein the health application tracks sitting posture, standing posture, steps, calories, and distance.
16. The system of claim 1 , 12 or 13 , comprising machine learning code to analyze movement pattern to identify exercise type, exercise posture, sitting posture, or standing posture.
