Abstract
A monitoring system supports numerous modes for calculating a periodic, e.g., daily, estimate of VO2 Max. A variety of strategies are used to select from among these modes based on the nature of supporting data that is available at the time that the VO2 Max estimate is calculated, and to transition in a data-driven way among these modes as higher-quality data sources become available or as these data sources become obsolete.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- providing a first model for estimating a maximal oxygen consumption for a user based on user data, the user data including physiological data acquired from a wearable physiological monitor worn by the user;
- receiving supplemental data relating to the maximal oxygen consumption;
- transitioning to a second model for estimating the maximal oxygen consumption based on the user data and the supplemental data;
- and
- calculating an estimated maximal oxygen consumption based on the second model.
A computer program product comprising computer-executable code embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executing on one or more computing devices, causes the one or more computing devices to perform the steps of:
- receiving user data from one or more data sources for a user;
- providing a plurality of models for estimating a maximal oxygen consumption for the user, each of the plurality of models adapted to an availability of data in at least one of the one or more data sources;
- selecting one of the plurality of models based on the availability of data in the one or more data sources;
- and
- estimating the maximal oxygen consumption for the user based on a selected one of the plurality of models.
A system comprising:
- a physiological monitor configured to continuously acquire heart rate data from a user;
- a memory storing a plurality of models for estimating maximal oxygen consumption for the user, each of the plurality of models adapted to an availability of data in one or more data sources for the user;
- and
- a computing device configured by computer-executable code to estimate the maximal oxygen consumption for the user by:
- receiving user data from at least one of the one or more data sources for the user,
- selecting one of the plurality of models based on the availability of data in the at least one of the one or more data sources, and
- estimating the maximal oxygen consumption for the user based on a selected one of the plurality of models and the user data.
