Abstract
A cardiovascular health assessment score, representing a working tissue flow and indicating the dependence on central and peripheral control mechanisms, is generated by the evaluation system and used to support a variety of individualized medicine and health applications. One or more of the individualized medicine and health applications may be implemented as part of the evaluation system and incorporate the cardiovascular health assessment.
Claims20
An evaluation system for individualized health and fitness interventions, the system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- one or more storage media;
- health and fitness regimens stored on at least one of the one or more storage media;
- and
- an application stored on at least one of the one or more storage media that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, direct the one or more hardware processors to at least:
- receive a measured total blood drive that represents a force on blood to pass through a vessel bed of a subject;
- receive a stiffness index representing stiffness of arterial structure of the subject;
- receive a local dilation response representing a hypoxic drive for dilation of a tissue of the subject;
- receive an autonomic constriction index representing constriction of the vessel bed of the subject;
- determine a value indicative of a resistance in the vessel bed of the subject using the stiffness index, the local dilation response, and the autonomic constriction index;
- determine a working tissue flow of the subject by dividing the measured total blood drive with the value indicative of the resistance in the vessel bed of the subject, wherein the working tissue flow indicates an ability to supply blood to working tissue of the subject and is a value generated based on the measured total blood drive and the value indicative of the resistance in the vessel bed of the subject;
- identify relative contributions of central and peripheral measures, collected via a computing system, for the working tissue flow to determine a relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow, wherein the relative peripheral control indicates dependence of the working tissue flow on central and peripheral factors on a spectrum from cardiac limited to vascular limited;
- provide, to a user interface to the evaluation system, the working tissue flow and the relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow;
- and
- in response to receiving an indication of a desired fitness or health objective, via the user interface to the evaluation system, determine a desired value or range for the relative peripheral control of working tissue flow;
- and provide, to the user interface to the evaluation system, at least one regimen from the stored health and fitness regimens associated with maintaining, increasing, or decreasing the relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow based on moving the relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow to the desired value or range for the relative peripheral control of working tissue flow.

A method for generating individualized health and fitness interventions, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing system, a measured total blood drive that represents a force on blood to pass through a vessel bed of a subject;
- receiving, at the computing system, a stiffness index representing stiffness of arterial structure of the subject;
- receiving, at the computing system, a local dilation response representing a hypoxic drive for dilation of a tissue of the subject;
- receiving, at the computing system, an autonomic constriction index representing constriction of the vessel bed of the subject;
- determining, by the computing system, a value indicative of a resistance in the vessel bed of the subject using the stiffness index, the local dilation response, and the autonomic constriction index;
- determining, by the computing system, a working tissue flow of the subject by dividing the measured total blood drive with the value indicative of the resistance in the vessel bed of the subject, wherein the working tissue flow indicates an ability to supply blood to working tissue of the subject and is a value generated based on the measured total blood drive and the value indicative of the resistance in the vessel bed of the subject;

- and
- in response to receiving an indication of a desired fitness or health objective, via the user interface, determining a desired value or range for the relative peripheral control of working tissue flow;
- and providing, to the user interface, at least one regimen from stored health and fitness regimens associated with maintaining, increasing, or decreasing the relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow based on moving the relative peripheral control of the working tissue flow to the desired value or range for the relative peripheral control of working tissue flow.
