Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system, mobile device, processing device, method and computer program for providing a health advice to a subject.
  • GB 2 454 705 A discloses a wearable personal activity monitor and computer based coaching system for assisting in exercise.
  • the wearable personal activity monitor has an accelerometer to sense extent of movement of a user and a wireless communication module to receive data from physiological data gathering devices (e.g. weighing scales, body composition analysis monitor, blood pressure monitor). Data may also be received from exercise equipment.
  • the monitor which may be worn on the wrist or ankle, stores movement data and physiological data over a period of time and can transmit the data over the internet to a computer based coaching system on a server.
  • the coaching system interacts with the user, via web pages.
  • the user can input data relating to physical or mental condition, and plan a schedule of activities and lifestyle.
  • the system provides suggestions, hints, tips and recommendations as to forms of exercise and lifestyle. Links to other users of the system are provided.
  • the system displays a commitment meter.
  • a wearable device assembly has a housing supporting a controller, display and indicator system thereon.
  • the controller has at least one sensor wherein activity of a user wearing the device is detected.
  • the controller selectively illuminates the indicator system to indicate a level of activity of the user.
  • COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • COPD typically has two components which may be present to varying degrees: chronic obstructive bronchitis where the airways become reduced in volume, showing increased airway resistance making it more difficult to move air out of the lung (see Fig. 1 A).
  • the other component is pulmonary emphysema, where the small air sacs are ruptured causing air to be retained in the lungs and limit the available space during inhalation (see Fig. IB).
  • Individuals who predominantly have emphysema experience symptoms that differ in detail from those who predominantly have chronic bronchitis; however, both disorders contribute to shortness of breath during exercise and to general disability.
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is progressive and irreversible. It is an under-diagnosed, life -threatening lung disease that interferes with normal breathing.
  • the primary cause of COPD is tobacco smoke.
  • Other risk factors for COPD are indoor and outdoor air pollution, occupational dusts and chemicals.
  • Acute exacerbations of COPD subjects have a negative impact on their health related quality of life, pulmonary function and survival of subjects with COPD.
  • COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs are used to support COPD to be physical active after hospital discharge. These rehabilitation programs are effective. However, it has been found that after subjects have completed PR and return home, they do not sustain their physical activity level. Instead their physical activity typically declines to the low levels they had before re-admission. With these low levels of physical activity at home after PR, COPD patients are at risk of being re-admitted.
  • US2007219059A1 discloses a method and system for continuous monitoring, real-time analysis, and automated and personalized training of exercise.
  • the system embodies a multi-sensor data acquisition system to measure body sounds, body signs, vital signs, motions, and machine settings continuously and automatically.
  • the system is able to capture the body sounds and other vital signs, analyze them, and report and display summarized results.
  • the signal processing functions utilize a unique signal separation and noise removal methodology by which authentic signals can be extracted from interfered signals and in noisy environments, even when signals and noises have similar frequency components or are statistically dependent.
  • the method and system will facilitate continuous monitoring, real-time analysis, and computerized evaluation of level of effort, and physical stress during physical activity or exercise.
  • the system will evaluate the person's physical performance and then act as an automated coach to guide exercise intensity and duration thereby optimizing and individualizing the training process.
  • the method and system is especially targeted, but not limited to, cardiopulmonary monitoring for athletes for improving the efficiency and safety of exercise, rehabilitation programs for out-of-shape individuals, and routine exercise of the general population.
  • activity monitors can be worn on different parts of the body depending on the type of device and configuration. For example, some activity monitors are wrist worn, whereas some are to be placed close to the hip region. As a consequence, some activities are better detected than others depending on the wearing position.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système (200), un dispositif mobile (210), un dispositif de traitement (220), un procédé (700) et un programme informatique formulant des recommandations de santé à un sujet. Un capteur d'activité (211) détermine un niveau d'activité du sujet (211a) pendant un premier intervalle de temps. Une unité d'évaluation d'activité (221) compare le niveau d'activité (211a) à au moins un seuil d'activité. Une unité de catégorisation (212) permet au sujet d'assigner une activité audit premier intervalle de temps. Une unité de formulation de recommandations (222) formule une recommandation de santé au sujet en se basant sur la comparaison établie par l'unité d'évaluation d'activité et sur l'activité assignée. Le système (200) ne se limite pas aux capteurs d'activité mais peut également comprendre d'autres capteurs d'autres paramètres vitaux, par exemple la fréquence cardiaque, la fréquence respiratoire, la pression sanguine, le taux de glucose, etc.
