Method and system for assessing a readiness score of a user
A method and a system for assessing readiness of a user, the method including obtaining the user's movements; using the obtained user's movements to determine a nature of the period, wherein the nature of the period is selected from an activity period and a rest period; measuring at least one biosignal of the user during the rest period; determining a rest summary for the rest period, based on the measured at least one biosignal and at least one biosignal of a previous rest period; determining an activity summary for the activity period, based on the obtained movements of an activity period and obtained movements of at least one previous activity period; determining a body response summary based on the rest summary and the activity summary; and calculating a readiness score based on the body response summary and a previous body response summary, whereby the readiness score indicates a level of readiness of the user.
1. A method for assessing readiness of a user, the method comprising:
obtaining the user's movements;
using the obtained user's movements to determine a nature of the period, wherein the nature of the period is selected from an activity period and a rest period;
measuring at least one biosignal of the user during the rest period;
determining a rest summary for the rest period, based on the measured at least one biosignal and at least one biosignal of a previous rest period;
determining an activity summary for the activity period, based on the obtained movements of an activity period and obtained movements of at least one previous activity period;
determining a body response summary based on the rest summary and the activity summary;
calculating a readiness score based on the body response summary and a previous body response summary, whereby the readiness score indicates a level of readiness of the user; and
using a user interface of the mobile communication device to show elements contributing to the readiness score and instructions related to physical activity and mental activity for improving the readiness score.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the user's movements is performed by measuring the user's movements or by retrieving the user's movement data from a separate device.
3. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising measuring at least one biosignal during the activity period.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one biosignal is selected from the group consisting of an electrocardiogram, a photoplethysmogram, an electromyogram, an electroocylogram, a heart rate, a heart rate variability, a body temperature, a resting heart rate, an average heart rate and signals related to breathing.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the rest summary comprises at least one of determining a sleep factor, determining a sleep balance, determining lowest body temperature during rest and determining a resting heart rate.
6. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising providing the user with appropriate instructions, related to at least one of physical activity, mental activity and rest, for improving the user's readiness score.
7. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising using medical history of the user to calculate the readiness score.
8. A system for assessing readiness of a user, the system comprising:
a ring configured to be worn by the user and comprising means for measuring at least one biosignal of the user during a rest period,
a mobile communication device configured to communicate with the ring,
means for measuring the user's movements during an activity period and the rest period, and
a server configured to communicate with the mobile communication device, the server being operable to
use the measured user's movements to determine a nature of the period, wherein the nature of the period is selected from the activity period and the rest period,
determine a rest summary for the rest period, based on the measured at least one biosignal and at least one biosignal of a previous rest period,
determine an activity summary for the activity period, based on the measured movements and measured movements of at least one previous activity period,
determine a body response summary based on the rest summary and the activity summary; and
calculate a readiness score based on the body response summary and a previous body response summary, whereby the readiness score indicates a level of readiness of the user; and
a user interface of the mobile communication device configured to show elements contributing to the readiness score and instructions related to physical activity and mental activity for improving the readiness score.
9. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the means for measuring the user's movements are arranged on the ring, in the mobile communication device or in an activity determination device.
10. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the mobile communication device is configured to visually present the readiness score to the user.
11. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the means for measuring the user's movements is selected from the group consisting of an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetic field sensor.
12. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the means for measuring at least one biosignal comprises a photon source arranged on the inner surface of the ring and a photon detector arranged on the inner surface of the ring.
13. A system according to claim 8 , wherein the ring further comprises a first electrode and a second electrode adapted to measure an electrocardiogram.
