Method and system for measuring beat parameters

A method for communicating beat parameters to a user at a user interface of an electronic device associated with the user, the method comprising:

• providing, by way of a garment worn by the user, an electrode module comprising a first set of electrodes, associated with a first sensor channel, and a second set of electrodes, associated with a second sensor channel;
• receiving, at a processing subsystem in communication with the electrode module, 1) a first dataset based on a first set of bioelectrical signals detected from the first sensor channel, and 2) a second dataset based on a second set of bioelectrical signals detected from the second sensor channel, wherein the first dataset and the second dataset comprise a local noise component and a heart signal component;
• generating, at the processing subsystem, a combined dataset based upon non-linearly combining the first and second datasets, wherein the combined dataset comprises a dampened local noise component and an accentuated heart signal component;
• generating a sample of the combined dataset based on the combined dataset, wherein the sample of the combined dataset includes a heart signal component segment corresponding to a time interval associated with a time interval length;
• generating, an analysis of a beat parameter based upon the sample of the combined dataset;
• and
• rendering information derived from the beat parameter analysis to the user at the user interface.

A system for communicating beat parameters to a user at a user interface of an electronic device associated with user, the system comprising:

• a garment configured to be worn by the user at a first body region located inferior to a L1 lumbar vertebrae region of the user;

• calculate 1) a heart power spectrum based on the combined data set, and 2) a combined EMG power spectrum based on combining a plurality of EMG power spectrums calculated from the EMG dataset,
• generate a noise-mitigated power spectrum based on processing the heart power spectrum with the combined EMG power spectrum,
• generate an analysis of a beat parameter based upon the noise-mitigated power spectrum, and
• generate information to be rendered to the user at the user interface, wherein the information is derived from the beat parameter analysis.
