Patent number: 11574722Abstract: Embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. A wearable strap may detect reflected light from a user's skin, where data corresponding to the reflected light is used to automatically and continually determine a heart rate of the user. The wearable strap may monitor heart rate data including heart rate variability, resting heart rate, and sleep quality. The systems may include a processing module that generates an indicator of physical recovery based on the heart rate data. The recovery indicator may be used to determine strain related to an exercise routine, qualitative information on the user's health, whether to alter a user's exercise plan, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Whoop, Inc.Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo, Aurelian Nicolae

Patent number: 10264982Abstract: Embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. A wearable strap may detect reflected light from a user's skin, where data corresponding to the reflected light is used to automatically and continually determine a heart rate of the user. The wearable strap may include a motion sensor that is used to determine a motion status of the user. Based upon the motion status of the user, the system may activate light emitters on the wearable strap to determine the heart rate of the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2014Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Whoop, Inc.Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo, Aurelian Nicolae

Patent number: 10182726Abstract: Continuous monitoring of a plurality of physiological data may be used for health and fitness improvements for a user. To this end, a physiological monitoring and measurement device may include a wearable strap that receives heart rate data for a user including a time series of heart rate data, a maximum heart rate, and a resting heart rate. A processor may transform the heart rate data into a time series of heart rate reserve data that is weighted, e.g., to account for cardiovascular efficiencies at different intensity levels, to provide a weighted time series of heart rate reserve values. An intensity score that provides an indicator of cardiovascular intensity for an exercise routine may be generated from the weighted time series of heart rate reserve values and displayed to the user on the wearable strap.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Whoop, Inc.Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo, Aurelian Nicolae

Patent number: 9750415Abstract: A system uses continuous tracking of sleep activity and heart rate activity to evaluate heart rate variability immediately before transitioning to an awake state, e.g., at the end of the last phase of deep sleep. In particular, a wearable, continuous physiological monitoring system as described herein includes one or more sensors to detect sleep states, the transitions between sleep states, and the transitions from a sleep state to an awake state for a user. This information can be used in conjunction with continuously monitored heart rate data to calculate heart rate variability of the user at the end of the last phase of sleep preceding the user waking up. By using the history of heart rate data in conjunction with sleep activity in this manner, an accurate and consistent recovery score can be calculated based on heart rate variability.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Whoop, Inc.Inventors: Emily Rachel Breslow, John Capodilupo, William Ahmed

Patent number: 9730591Abstract: A removable wrist device in a continuous physiological monitoring system includes a mounting fixture with a pair of rails to securely retain another device, such as a battery, a watch, or a display. The rails may be curved to secure the device against displacement during purely translational movement while conveniently conforming to the shape of a wrist. At the same time, the rails can permit movement around the axis of the wrist (where significant rotational forces are not regularly encountered) to permit convenient attachment and removal of the other device to the wrist-mounted device through a rotational, sliding motion. This configuration provides an advantageous combination of ease of use (sliding on and off in a natural motion), mounting tenacity, and comfort.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Whoop, Inc.Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo, Aurelian Nicolae, Rinat Aruh, Carl Johan Liden, Brett Tobias Tom

Publication number: 20160360985Abstract: Embodiments provide physiological measurement systems, devices and methods for continuous health and fitness monitoring. A lightweight wearable system is provided to collect various physiological data continuously from a wearer without the need for a chest strap. The system also enables monitoring of one or more physiological parameters in addition to heart rate including, but not limited to, body temperature, heart rate variability, motion, sleep, stress, fitness level, recovery level, effect of a workout routine on health, caloric expenditure. Embodiments also include computer-executable instructions that, when executed, enable automatic interpretation of one or more physiological parameters to assess the cardiovascular intensity experienced by a user (embodied in an intensity score or indicator) and the user's recovery after physical exertion (embodied in a recovery score). These indicators or scores may be displayed to assist a user in managing the user's health and exercise regimen.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2016Publication date: December 15, 2016Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo, Aurelian Nicolae

Publication number: 20160324432Abstract: While experimenting with photoplethysmography, the applicant has observed that cardiac activity can be measured through human skin using ambient light in place of active lighting systems. Disclosed herein are techniques for exploiting this phenomenon to provide improved, low power physiological monitoring systems. In order to facilitate more continuous physiological monitoring over a range of lighting conditions, the intensity of ambient light can be monitored, and active lighting can be selectively deployed under conditions where ambient light does not provide sufficient optical energy for cardiac measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: William Ahmed, John Capodilupo
