US 2017/0360299 A1 · CALCULATING A HEALTH PARAMETER

Abstract

A wearable device may take a set of health inputs from embedded body sensors for the duration of an activity performed by a user of the wearable device. Based on these inputs, the wearable device can calculate a health parameter (e.g., calories burned during the activity). The wearable device can also track its location during the activity, and provide this location to a geolocation data network. The geolocation data network may provide geolocation data (e.g., weather/environmental/terrain data) pertaining to the wearable device's location. The wearable device can then modify its measurements and/or calculated health parameters based on the geolocation data (e.g. Increasing calories burned during a run due to high heat and uphill terrain in the location of the run).

Claims23

Dependent claims

A method for health calculations, the method comprising:

receiving a health input from a wearable device worn by a user, the health input comprising one or more measurements from one or more health sensors, wherein the health input comprises movement data;
calculating a health parameter based on the received health input;
obtaining location-based information associated with the wearable device;
categorizing the movement data as matching one or more activities of a user;
refining the categorization based on the location based information;
and
modifying the calculated heath parameter based on the location-based information, where this modifying comprises at least modifying based on the refined categorization of the movement data.

4 more elements

A system for performing health calculations, the system comprising:

a wearable device comprising:
one or more health sensors providing a health input, the health input comprising one or more measurements and movement data,
a communication interface that communicates over a wireless communication network, wherein the communication interface obtains location-based information associated with the wearable device, and:
a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor
calculates a health parameter based on the health input
categorizes the movement data as matching one or more activities,
refines the categorization based on the location-based information, and
modifies the calculated health parameter based on the location-based information, wherein this modifying comprises at least modifying based on the refined categorization of the movement data.
