Abstract

A treadmill includes one or more processing devices configured to receive a plurality of risk factors associated with at least one of a cardiac condition and a cardiac outcome for a user, generate a selected set of the risk factors, determine, based on the selected set of the risk factors, a probability of a cardiac intervention, generate, based on the probability and the selected set of the risk factors, a treatment plan to be performed by the user while the user interacts with the treadmill, the treatment plan including one or more exercises directed to reducing the probability of the cardiac intervention, and controlling, based on the treatment plan, the treadmill to at least one of actuate a motor to adjust a speed of the treadmill and adjust an incline of a belt.

Claims (41)

1 . A treadmill, comprising:

a pair of rollers;

a belt coupled to and extending between the pair of rollers, wherein the belt encircles a support platform suspended between the pair of rollers;

a motor operatively coupled to one of the pair of rollers to rotate the one of the pair of rollers such that rotation of the rollers causes the belt to rotate around the support platform suspended between the pair of rollers; and

one or more processing devices configured to:

receive a plurality of risk factors associated with at least one of a cardiac condition and a cardiac outcome for a user,

generate a selected set of the risk factors,

determine, based on the selected set of the risk factors, a probability of a cardiac intervention,

generate, based on the probability and the selected set of the risk factors, a treatment plan to be performed by the user while the user interacts with the treadmill, wherein the treatment plan includes one or more exercises directed to reducing the probability of the cardiac intervention, and

control, based on the treatment plan, the treadmill to at least one of (i) actuate the motor to adjust a speed of the treadmill and (ii) adjust an incline of the belt.

2 . The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute a risk factor model, and wherein, to generate the selected set of the risk factors, the risk factor model is configured to at least one of assign weights to the risk factors, rank the risk factors, and filter the risk factors.

3 . The treadmill of claim 2 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute a probability model, and wherein the probability model is configured to determine the probability of the cardiac intervention.

4 . The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the probability model is configured to determine, based on respective probabilities associated with individual ones of the selected set of the risk factors, the probability of the cardiac intervention.

5 . The treadmill of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to execute a treatment plan model, and wherein the treatment plan model is configured to generate the treatment plan based on individual probabilities of the cardiac intervention of respective ones of the selected set of the risk factors.

6 . The treadmill of claim 5 , wherein the treatment plan model is configured to generate the treatment plan based on an identified one of the selected set of the risk factors that has a largest contribution to the probability of the cardiac intervention.

7 . The treadmill of claim 6 , wherein, subsequent to implementing the treatment plan using the treadmill, the one or more processing devices are configured to modify the treatment plan based on a determination of whether the treatment plan reduced either one of (i) the probability of the cardiac intervention and (ii) the identified one of the selected set of the risk factors.

8 . The treadmill of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to transmit the modified treatment plan to cause the treadmill to implement at least one modified exercise of the modified treatment plan.

9 . The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the cardiac intervention corresponds to an intervention configured to minimize one or more negative effects of the at least one of the cardiac condition and the cardiac outcome.

10 . The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to initiate, while the user performs the treatment plan, a telemedicine session between a computing device of the user and a computing device of a healthcare professional.

11 . The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of risk factors includes modifiable risk factors and non-modifiable risk factors.

12 . The treadmill of claim 1 , wherein the cardiac outcome corresponds to at least one of (i) a change in a cardiac condition, (ii) a cardiac-related event (CRE), and (iii) a cardiac intervention.

13 . A computer-implemented method for operating a treadmill, the method comprising:

using one or more processing devices,

receiving a plurality of risk factors associated with at least one of a cardiac condition and a cardiac outcome for a user,

generating a selected set of the risk factors,

determining, based on the selected set of the risk factors, a probability of a cardiac intervention,

generating, based on the probability and the selected set of the risk factors, a treatment plan to be performed by the user while the user interacts with the treadmill, wherein the treatment plan includes one or more exercises directed to reducing the probability of the cardiac intervention, and

controlling, based on the treatment plan, the treadmill to at least one of (i) actuate a motor of the treadmill to adjust a speed of the treadmill and (ii) adjust an incline of a belt of the treadmill.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

generating, using a risk factor machine learning model, the selected set of the risk factors, wherein the risk factor machine learning model is configured to at least one of assign weights to the risk factors, rank the risk factors, and filter the risk factors; and

determining, using a probability machine learning model, the probability of the cardiac intervention.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising using the probability machine learning model to determine the probability of the cardiac intervention based on respective probabilities associated with individual ones of the selected set of the risk factors.

16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising using a treatment plan machine learning model to generate the treatment plan based on individual probabilities of a cardiac intervention of respective ones of the selected set of the risk factors.

17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising generating the treatment plan based on an identified one of the selected set of the risk factors that has a largest contribution to the probability of the cardiac intervention.

18 . The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , further comprising, subsequent to implementing the treatment plan using the treadmill, modifying the treatment plan based on a determination of whether the treatment plan reduced either one of (i) the probability of the cardiac intervention and (ii) the identified one of the selected set of the risk factors.

19 . The computer-implemented method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processing devices are configured to transmit the modified treatment plan to cause the treadmill to implement at least one modified exercise of the modified treatment plan.

20 . The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein at least one of:

the cardiac intervention corresponds to an intervention configured to minimize one or more negative effects of the at least one of the cardiac condition and the cardiac outcome;
