Patent number: 10078734Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using earphones with biometric sensors to identify and present information regarding performance periods. Fatigue level associated with fatigue experienced in response to a stimulus and recovery from such fatigue may be determined based on heart rate variability (HRV) data and learned user characteristics. One or more cycles of fatigue and recovery can be identified as a fitness cycle(s), each fitness cycle encompassing a period of time beginning with the stimulus associated with the fitness-related activity and progressing through recovery from the fatigue experienced in response to the stimulus associated with the fitness-related activity. A performance period may be predicted based on a pre-determined fatigue/recovery level instance within a fitness cycle.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: LOGITECH EUROPE, S.A.Inventors: Ben Wisbey, David Shepherd, Stephen Duddy

Publication number: 20170206337Abstract: A system generates an automated survey and causes a user interface of an electronic device to present survey to a patient, so that the system can use the survey responses to identify and provide wellness or disease management content items that are tailored to the patient's behavioral needs. The system automatically generates an electronic survey document with data entry fields that each correspond to a question for a category of behavioral influence. The document includes fillable fields as presented on a user interface. When the system receives data via the fillable fields as presented on the user interface of the electronic device, it will assign a value to each response, construct a patient model, and it will use the patient model to extract intervention content items and provide the patient with those items.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Inventors: Michael David Shepherd, William K.
