AN ACTIVITY MONITOR

摘要

An activity monitor that has a sensor (2) for sensing movement, a processor (1) for processing sensed data and a memory (5), wherein the processor (1) is configured to use the sensed data to determine the number of steps taken for each of a plurality of epochs and to determine a measure of the fraction of each epoch spent stepping, the monitor being configured to record in a long term part of the memory (5) at least two of the number of steps; the measure of the fraction of each epoch spent stepping and a measure of cadence calculated using the number of steps and the fraction of each epoch spent stepping.
