Method and system for evaluating a physiological state depicting a person's resources

A method for evaluating a physiological state depicting a person's resources and representing different physiological recovery states, using a processing unit, a terminal device, software and at least one device for entering data, the method comprising:

• determining a plurality of alternatives of physiological states depicting resources wherein one physiological state from the determined alternatives depicts an actual physiological state of the person;
• selecting one or more contexts each corresponding to a temporal period for an action/state of the person;
• selecting one or more variables for each context;
• measuring and recording as a continuous measurement for at least 4 hours, containing one or more selected context;
• measuring and recording measurement-background data of the measurement;
• defining, with the recorded measurement, a value for each selected variable of the context, from at least one corresponding defined period;
• defining temporal periods for each context from the physiological information with the aid of the measurement-background data;
• and
• determining the person's actual physiological state by exploiting the measurement-background data and the measured values of the variable of each context using steps of;
• defining for each variable, a preselected correlation function in each physiological state to depict the relationship between each physiological state and the variables defined for each context;
• computing a value for each preselected correlation function using the values of the said variables and the period of time of the corresponding context;
• computing, with the aid of a preselected sum function, a reference value for each physiological state by combining the values of all the computed correlation functions of each physiological state;
• determining one physiological state from said alternatives as the actual physiological state based on the reference values using the preselected criterion;
• and
• presenting the actual physiological state depicting the person's resources.
