Abstract

A sensor system for obtaining and displaying information relating to physiological parameters, such as Total Hemoglobin and Pulse rate for use by a user such as an athlete. The system can present the measured physiological parameters to the user in a useful way. For example the system can display a visual multi quadrant infographic display, which can present the total hemoglobin values measured by the system in a particular season. The system can also display a visual elevation infographic display, which can present a comparison of the total hemoglobin values measured by the system over a period of time and/or at various altitudes. The system can also display a visual yin-yang infographic display, which can present a comparison of one or more metrics calculated by the system or one or more parameters measured by the system. The system can provide useful information about the user's health and/or well-being and allow the user to quickly and easily view and interpret relevant information.

Claims (14)

1. A system configured to assist a user in improving physiological performance during exercise by monitoring total hemoglobin measurements over a range of circumstances and providing user data in a useful way for user use, the system comprising:

a non-invasive physiological sensor and hardware processor configured to obtain user physiological data and elevation data over a period of time, wherein the user data comprises a plurality of total hemoglobin measurements obtained at a plurality of elevations relative to sea level;

a database configured to store the user data; and

a user interface generated by a system having one or more hardware processors and one or more servers, wherein the user interface is configured to display a first total hemoglobin measurement of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements, and provide in a graphical presentation, an indication of the first total hemoglobin measurement according to changes in elevation relative to sea level, wherein the first total hemoglobin measurement is provided according to an elevation relative to sea level at which it was obtained, and wherein the user interface is configured to display an image representing the first total hemoglobin measurement, and

wherein the user interface is configured to receive a selection by a user of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured to display a second total hemoglobin measurement of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements and provide an indication of the second total hemoglobin measurement at an elevation relative to sea level at which it was obtained.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-invasive physiological sensor comprises: a plurality of emitters configured to emit light; and one or more detectors configured to detect light attenuated by a tissue site of the user.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-invasive physiological sensor comprises a reusable sensor configured to clip onto a tissue site of the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection by the user comprises a subset of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements obtained by the non-invasive sensor during a period of time.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the selection by the user comprises a subset of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements obtained by the non-invasive sensor at a range of elevations relative to sea level.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the selection by the user comprises a subset of the plurality of total hemoglobin measurements obtained by the non-invasive sensor during a selected activity.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is configured to display an indication of suboptimal total hemoglobin measurement according to an elevation relative to sea level.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical presentation comprises a data bar extending upwards from a horizontal axis.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the data bar comprises a line.
