Abstract
A method of determining a value of a physiological parameter for a subject at a selected state includes obtaining, via a device located a distance from the subject, a value of the physiological parameter of the subject at a particular time-of-day, and applying a time-dependent relationship function to the obtained physiological parameter value via a processor to determine a value of the physiological parameter at the selected state.
Claims25
A method of estimating a value of a physiological parameter for a subject at a selected metabolic state, the method comprising:
- obtaining, via a device located a distance from the subject, a value of the physiological parameter of the subject at a time-of-day, wherein the device comprises a camera configured to measure heart rate, breathing rate, and/or physical activity of the subject;
- and
- estimating the value of the physiological parameter for the subject at the selected metabolic state by applying a time-dependent relationship function to the obtained physiological parameter value via at least one processor, wherein the selected metabolic state is different from a current metabolic state of the subject.
A system, comprising:
- a camera configured to measure heart rate, breathing rate, and/or physical activity of a subject located a distance from the camera;
- and
- at least one processor configured to obtain from the camera a value of a physiological parameter of the subject at a time-of-day, and to estimate a value of the physiological parameter for the subject at a selected metabolic state by applying a time-dependent relationship function to the obtained physiological parameter value, wherein the selected metabolic state is different from a current metabolic state of the subject.
