Athletic Band with Removable Module

摘要

Methods of detecting and reducing error of athletic sensor readouts are disclosed. Methods relate to receiving properties, such as an athlete's body mass index and a physiological property, such as heart rate. Based on a body mass index or other parameter being outside a range, selecting a protocol, such as a heart rate measurement protocol. In further embodiments, a heart rate measurement protocol may be augmented.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of detecting an error comprising:
electronically receiving the athlete's body mass index; electronically determining that the athlete's body mass index is outside of a predetermined index range having at least an upper threshold; based upon the determination that the received body mass index is outside of the predetermined index, electronically selecting a first heart rate measurement protocol instead of at least a second heart rate protocol; electronically receiving a first heart rate value from a sensor at a first orientation at a first position with respect to an athlete's body; calculating, using the first heart rate measurement protocol, a first heart rate measurement from a sensor; storing the a first heart rate measurement on a non-transitory computer-readable medium; electronically receiving a second heart rate value from the sensor; and electronically determining that the second heart rate measurement from the sensor outside of at least one of the first heart rate range and a second heart rate range and in response augmenting an aspect of the first heart rate protocol; wherein the first heart rate measurement protocol is different than the second heart rate protocol with respect to at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of: wavelength of light transmitted by the sensor, intensity of light transmitted from the sensor, algorithm utilized, weights, confidences, and combinations thereof.
