Definitions
- This invention relates to devices adapted to be supported on a user's body to monitor and record the user's activity and physical condition in connection with weight control and fitness systems.
- a calorie management system allows a person to compare their caloric expenditure, comprising resting metabolic rate (RMR) and activity-related caloric expenditure, to their caloric intake in the fonn of food (including beverages).
- Caloric expenditure has two components, a larger contribution related to resting metabolic processes, and a smaller contribution related to the energy expended in physical activity.
- total energy expenditure is the sum of resting energy expenditure (REE, a product of resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the time period of interest) and activity energy expenditure (AEE), i.e.:
- Calorie balance is defined in teiins of the difference between TEE and the caloric intake of the person.
- Calorie management has two important components, recording of caloric intake and recording of caloric expenditure. Writing down foods consumed and activities perfonned is highly time consuming. Electronic diet calculators are known in the art, but are also often very time consuming to use. It is an object of the present invention to provide devices and systems which enable and encourage people to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- the present invention is accordingly directed toward electronic devices which may be supported on the body of a user and include an electronic clock, a sensor for detecting body motion and levels thereof, entry means for allowing the user to record activities such as food consumption and the beginning and/or end of discrete exercise activities, sensors for detecting physiological parameters of the user relatmg to activity, such as heart rate, an electronic memory for storing all of these signals and the time of their occurrence, for later communication to a graphic display system.
- the record of activities, entries, physiological parameters, and the time of occurrence assists the user in the daily conduct of weight management or fitness programs.
- One preferred embodiment of the invention takes the fonn of a small, lightweight electronic device which may be attached to the clothing or body of a user.
- the device incorporates an electronic clock and a motion sensing circuit such as an accelerometer.
- the electrical outputs of the clock and the motion sensor are recorded magnetically or optically on a solid-state memory which correlates time and activity.
- the device preferably includes pushbuttons, keys or the like which may be employed by the user to record the time of consumption of meals, the time of the beginning and/or end of physical activity such as runiiing or bicycling and the like. These signals are similarly recorded in the solid-state memory along with their times of occurrence.
- the device may further include physiological sensors which contact the body to record parameters such as pulse rate, E G, body temperature or the like. These signals may be measured on a periodic basis and recorded in the solid-state memory along with a time stamp, or the system may include level sensors and only record these physiological signals when they exceed certain levels or occur at certain times, such as at the beginning and end of exercise.
- the device includes means for transferring the content of the memory to a graphic display device for review by the user. This may take a variety of forms including a communication port for attaching the device to a personal computer, PDA, or printer by a cable, wirelessly, or through removal of a stick memory for insertion in the display device.
- a wrist mounted unit in the form of a wristwatch having a display for the information recorded in the memory.
- This unit also preferably includes a microphone and a voice recorder to allow the user to record comments such as the nature of the exercise being engaged in, the specific foods being eaten, etc.
- this audio file may be used along with a graphical display of the recorded information either from the device itself or an auxiliary display device, to allow the user to create a formal record of food consumption and activities for use in connection with a weight control or fitness program.
- the body supported device may also include other units for better recording the foods consumed.
- the device mcludes a barcode reader which scans the universal product codes of packaging for foods consumed so as to identify the exact nature of the food for later logging in a diet balance program.
- the body supported device may also include a camera for capturing images of foods consumed for display by the graphic processor or for transmission to a remote computer over a communications network to a computer equipped to analyze the images and determine the nutritional content for food logging purposes, or to a skilled professional who may perform the same task.
- the body supported unit may also include alarms for the user to suggest time for meals, exercise, or the like.

- the SAM contains an internal mechanism and circuitry so as to provide an electrical signal cor ⁇ lated with the physical activity level of the user.
- this uses a piezoelectric accelerometer based on a piezo-cantilever.
- Alternative accelerometer designs such as pendulum switches, conducting- liquid based switches, or other motion-sensitive switches or devices may also be used.
- the exercise button 14 is pressed at the commencement and the end of an exercise, so as to record the start time, end time, and duration of an activity.
- the time stamps are used later in building an activity log for the user.
- Activity levels are recorded during the activity, based on the correlation between the accelerometer signals and the activity of the user. Time data and activity level data are recorded in memory within the SAM.
- the food flag button 16 is pressed when food, chinks, and other consumables are consumed.
- the SAM records the time of consumption, which is used later as a spur to memory when the user creates a diet log.
- the activity display or exercise display 22 is used to give an indication of exercise perfonned during a day or other period.
- the bar-graph style exercise display 22 (shown in Figures 1 and 2) is used to provide an indication of activity levels during the day, in relation to a daily goal.
- the display can also be used to display the progress to the completion of an exercise. An exercise may be considered complete after a certain time has elapsed, a certain cumulative activity level has been reached, or some combination.
- the bar- graph style food display can be used to show the number of meals recorded. Alternatively, alphanumeric displays may be used for displays 20 and 22.
- the communications jack 24 allows the SAM to commimicate with another electronic device, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), pocket- sized computer, other portable computer, wireless phone, pager, wrist mounted device, electronic book, a device containing one or more of the above functionalities, desktop computer system, or other device with computing capabilities.

- finger pad electrodes may be provided for bioimpedance measurements.
- a finger clip may be provided for pulse oximetry.
- a pulse rate sensor may also be provided on the rear of the housing 12, and the time display 18 used to display the pulse rate of the user.
- a microphone may be provided, so as to allow the user to record voice memos related to food and activity using memory within housing 12. The microphone may also be used to record heartbeats or respiratory noises for later medical diagnosis.
- An optical image sensor may be provided, so as to allow food and activity related images to be recorded, for example images of food consumed, printed notes or menus, the path of a walk, and the like.
- a barcode scanner may be provided, to allow food packages to be scanned, or other data to be entered into the SAM.
- FIG 3 shows a preferred design of a wrist-mounted SAM shown generally at 30.
- wrist-mounted SAM 30 has a generally rounded housing 32 in the style of a wristwatch, supported on the user's wrist by strap 34.
- a microphone 36 is contained within the housing 32, and provides a method of storing voice records on a memory contained within the housing 32.
- the SAM 30 has a mode button 38, a food flag button 40, a record/transmit button pair 42 and 44, an IR downlink port 46, a time display 50, an activity display (or exercise display) 52, and a food display 54 associated with the housing.
- a heart rate sensor 56 is provided on rear of the housing (as shown in Figure 3), so as to contact the wrist of the user and provide a signal related to heart rate (or equivalently pulse rate).
- the mode button 38 is used to switch between operating modes, which might include time display only, pulse rate, time from the start of an exercise, food display, activity level display, combinations of the above, and other information.
- the food flag button 40 is pressed when food is eaten.
- the time stamp (the time at which the button was pressed) is used in creating a diet log at a later date.
- the time stamp data may be supplemented by recorded voice memos using the microphone.
- the recorded memos preferably have a time added, for assisting with diet log creation.
- Data is transmitted to another device, for example a PDA or other portable computer, desktop computer system, or other electronic device, using the IR downlink port 46.
- This comprises an LR emitter and IR detector, so as to communicate with other devices using an IR beam.
- the transmit/record button pair (42 and 44) are pressed to initiate IR communication using port 46.
- Another wireless communications method such as the Bluetooth protocol, cable, or memory module transfer may also be used.
- a heart rate sensor 56 is provided at the rear of the wrist-mounted SAM housing 32 (as shown in Figure 4) and protrudes through a hole in strap 34 so as to contact the skin of the user.
- photo- plethysmography is used to determine the heart rate of the user.
- An IR source is reflected from the wrist and used to monitor the heart rate.
- Other techniques known in the art may be used, for example pneumatic plethysmography, in which variations in pressure are monitored, impedance cardiography, and phonocardiography.
- the user can also wear a chest strap adapted to measure heart rate, which communicates with SAM using a wireless method or a cable.
- the wrist-mounted SAM 30 may have an electrical connection jack for connecting the SAM to another device using a cable.
- the heart rate sensor may alternatively be incorporated into the strap 34.
- the SAM may be provided with a wireless link to a communications network such as the Internet for transfer of data to a monitoring system. The wireless link is useful for patient monitoring and athlete monitoring.
- the wrist-mounted. SAM may also comprise the functionalities of a wireless phone, television, radio, entertainment device, Internet access device, and/or a portable computer.
- One object of the present invention is to provide the user with a discreet method of maldng note that food was consumed. It may be impractical or embarrassing for the user to make detailed records at the time food is eaten.
- An advantage of the present invention is that it does not require the user to make a complete record of foods eaten at the time of consumption. By providing a food button to the SAM, a user may quickly and discreetly note the time at which they eat something. The time of consumption then acts as a cue to memory later when the complete diet log is created on the user's personal computer. Voice records may be added at the time of the meal, or at the earliest convenient time, to supplement the time stamp data.
- the computing device may be a personal digital assistant (PDA), pocket PC, desktop computer system, or entertainment device having computing capability.
- PDA personal digital assistant
- the SAM communicates with the computing device using a serial connector or other cable, wireless link such as an IR beam or the Bluetooth wireless protocol, by maldng an electrical interface, or by transfer of memory modules (such as a memory card, flash media, other nonvolatile memory, or powered memory module).
- the software is discussed in more detail in a following section.
- the user preferably weighs themselves at intervals, and provides this data to relevant software and databases.
- FIG. 5 A shows a health management system in which SAM 60 (which may be any of the embodiments described above) communicates with desktop computer system 62.
- the double-headed arrows represent communications links.
- the computer system 62 has a link to a communications network 64, preferably the Internet.
- the communications network 64 is also linked to remote computer system 66 and computers belonging to other users of the health management system such as 68.
- Remote computer system 66 provides a software program so as to receive data from the user and store it in a database or other memory structure. Computer system 66 also provides software so as to generate data presentations related to the user, preferably web pages viewable by the user over the Internet. Feedback, further information, resources, and support may be obtained by the user over the communications network. Progress over tune may be monitored, for example by the user, employees of a business supplying the SAM, a health professional, a physician, a fitness planner, a nutritionist, or other authorized user. A support group or chat room may be provided to the user over the communications network, to assist the user in achieving weight loss goals.
- FIG. 5B shows another embodiment of a health management system in which data from SAM 60 is communicated to a portable computer 70.
- Portable computer 70 has a link to communications network 64.
- Portable computer 70 also communicates with desktop computer system 62.
- the user also has access to entertainment device 74, which may be an interactive TV, Internet access device, and the like.
- Entertainment device 74 and desktop computer 62 may be combined into a unitary device.
- PDA 70 and SAM 60 may also be combined into a unitary device.
- a content provider 72 provides information which can be sent to the user over communications network 64, and viewed using devices 70, 62, or 74.
- audio-visual feedback in the form of streaming video is viewed by the user on entertainment device 74.
- Feedback can also be in the fonn of electronic mail to a computing device, a web page generated by system 66 and viewable by the user, data transmitted to the user over communications network 62 so as to provide or initiate software on a computing device belonging to the user.
- the nature of the feedback is controlled by the status of the infonnation stored in the database associated with remote computer system 66. For example, if weight loss goals have been met, the reward may be another episode of an entertainment series. If weight loss goals have been missed, the feedback may be in the form of diet advice or exercise tips.
- An important aspect of this invention is the synchronization of data between the user's computing device or devices (in this embodiment, 70 and 62) and a remote computer system 66 using communications network 64.
- Data concerning the user is collected on a database on remote computer 66, which may combine diet, activity, purchase, medical, and other information generated by the SAM, diet/activity logging software, and other sources.
- Data is also received by the user over the network 64, for example feedback, activity suggestions, meal suggestions, and the like.
- the SAM may also include a barcode reader for scanning the universal product codes (UPC), as part of a diet logging process.
- the SAM may also include an imaging device for capturing images of foods consumed, for the purpose of diet logging.
- Informal records collected by the user may be transmitted to a remote computer over a coimnunications network, where a skilled professional, for example an employee of a health-related business, may then create the formal diet and activity logs for the user.
- the user may have the option of editing or enhancing the created diet log over the Internet at a later time.
- the SAM is used in a health management program in which an indirect calorimeter is provided to the user for the purpose of measuring the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the user at intervals.
- RMR resting metabolic rate
- a calorimeter as described in co-pending application 09/630,398, incorporated herein by reference, is used. If the RMR falls significantly during a health management program, such as a weight loss program, the user will be encouraged to increase activity levels. Data stored on the memory of SAM, such as the expected daily activity level, will be modified to encourage a more active lifestyle.
- the SAM is used to monitor physical activity levels of the user, and can provide feedback to the user if this falls below a target level.
- the SAM may suggest (for example through a beeping noise, flashing light, or display indication) that walking, taking the stairs, exercising, or getting up from a computer workstation is advisable.
- the SAM may also be used to suggest snacks, related to the time of day and the time to the next meal.
- Food and activity records can be used to initiate or change the nature of feedback provided to the user by SAM. For example, if it appears that snacldng around 11:00 a.m. is a problem in meeting a weight loss goal, the SAM can then provide feedback along the lines of suggesting the user holds out until lunch, suggesting that the user drinks water, eats a high volume low calorie snack, exercises around this time, or takes an appetite suppressant.
- the SAM may be provided with an alphanumeric or higher-resolution graphic display for the provision of feedback.
- the SAM may also be used in cardiac recuperation programs, for example for a user recovering from heart surgery, hi this case, it is often recommended that a recovering patient obtains a certain amount of physical activity.
- a business may provide the SAM to a user on a purchase basis, or also on a subscription basis which includes access to a website providing further feedback and support.
- Embodiments of the SAM may also interact with other physiological monitors carried by the user, such as body temperature, respiration monitors, cardiac monitors, environmental sensors, and the like.
- the SAM is preferably used in conjunction with an indirect calorimeter. ' Resting metabolic rate measurements may be entered into the software used for tracking at intervals.
- the pedometer may also be calibrated in terms of actual caloric expenditure per unit time using a version of the GEM having a mask as the respiratory connector.
- Figure 6 shows the user breathing through an indirect calorimeter (shown generally at 80) of the type sold by HealtheTech, Inc. of Golden, Colorado under the mark HealthGem (GEM) using a mask 82 held in contact with their face using straps 84.
- the user measures their metabolic rate at rest, hence obtaining their resting metabolic rate (RMR).
- RMR resting metabolic rate
- the user then performs an activity while wearing the SAM and breathing through the GEM.
- a correlation is formed between the increased metabolic rate measured during the activity using the GEM, and the signal from the SAM.
- the correlation is subsequently used to detennine the actual caloric expenditure of the user based on signals from the SAM, without the necessity of breathing through the indirect calorimeter.
- the user's pulse rate can also be correlated with the caloric expenditure measured using an indirect calorimeter, if the SAM embodiment monitors the pulse rate of the user.
- the user engages in a series of activities, such walking, jogging, running, nuining on the spot, using a treadmill, or cycling, while wearing a SAM and breathing through the GEM.
- the signals from the SAM are correlated with the measured oxygen consumption using the indirect calorimeter.
- the SAM may also be used to identify an activity by the characteristic signature of the provided signal. For example, running may lead to a certain type of signal from the SAM, which may be recognized and the caloric expenditure of the mining activity calculated.
- the patterns provided by the SAM are be used in detennining the activity levels of the user.
- the patterns may be unique signatures of pulse rate, accelerometer signal, position (e.g. GPS signal), and other physiological signals.
- the SAM may receive data from exercise machines related to activities performed.
- a GPS signal may locate a user within a gym, and prompt the user later to provide detailed exercise information.
- a personal trainer may also provide activity related data.
- the SAM may automatically sense when an exercise starts and stops, providing time flag data without the necessity of pushing a button.
- the SAM may then provide detailed activity log data, such as the time and nature of activities performed during the day, to activity logging software on a computer, without the need for data input by the user.
- the SAM can provide total caloric expenditure (RMR + AEE) by receiving data from a calorimeter (such as described in co-pending application 09/630,398) indicating RMR.
- the RMR value is preferably updated at intervals, to compensate for the effect of RMR changes on calorie balance. Conventional weight management schemes do not compensate for RMR changes.
- the SAM can indicate total caloric expenditure at any time during the day.
- the SAM also receives infonnation on caloric intake (calories consumed through diet) and/or calorie targets, a calorie balance for the day can be given.
- the SAM may include diet logging or may receive a signal from a computer on which intake is logged. Caloric intake can be estimated based on food flags and/or past intake patterns.
- Figure 7 illustrates a typical graphical output of SAM which may be provided on a PDA, a desktop computer or the like.
- the horizontal axis represents times during a 24 hour period.
- Flags 100 are imprinted on the graphic display at times when the user consumed food and depressed the food flag button 16.
- the letter A is imprmted at the time of the beginning and end of an exercise cycle resulting from pressing the exercise button 14.
- a graph 102 of calories expended during activity and exercise is imprinted at the top of the display. It is cumulative for the 24 hour period.
