DETERMINING SENSOR DATA QUALITY BASED ON BIOIMPEDANCE INFORMATION

摘要

An exercise feedback system determines sensor data quality of an athletic garment based on bioimpedance data. The athletic garment includes sensors that can generate physiological data and bioimpedance data. An athlete wears the athletic garment while exercising. If the sensors have a stable contact with the skin of the athlete, the sensors generate high quality physiological data. However, if the sensors have unstable or no contact with the skin of the athlete, the sensors generate low quality physiological data. The exercise feedback system uses the magnitude and/or variance of the bioimpedance data to determine whether the physiological data is high or low quality. If the physiological data is high quality, the exercise feedback system may generate and provide feedback based on the physiological data for display to the athlete. The exercise feedback system may also use the bioimpedance data to identify defects in the garment during quality assurance tests.

1. A method comprising:
receiving physiological data from a garment worn by a user, the garment including a plurality of sensors configured to generate the physiological data, the physiological data describing muscle activation of a plurality of muscles of the user while performing an exercise; receiving the bioimpedance data from the garment, the plurality of sensors configured to generate the bioimpedance data, the bioimpedance data based on a level of physical contact between a sensor of the plurality of sensors and a portion of skin of the user; determining a parameter value of a sample of the bioimpedance data; and providing, in response to the parameter value being within a predetermined range, biofeedback to a client device for display to the user, the biofeedback indicating a metric of performance of the exercise based on the physiological data, wherein the parameter value indicates that the sensor is in sufficient physical contact with the portion of skin of the user.
