Inventor: DAVID ROBERTAUD
IPC: A61B5/318
Filed: 2020-12-15
Abstract: A recovery test is performed by obtaining motion data for a user S201, determining whether the user is in a first position S202, and if the user is in the first position then obtaining their heart beat data over a first time period S203. The heart beat data is used to generate a recovery score for the user S204. Further heart beat and motion data may be obtained over a second time period in which the user is in a second position. The first position may be lying down and the second position may be standing. The heart beat data may be heartrate or heartrate variability. The test may be restarted if the user is detected to no longer be in the required position. In a second embodiment (fig 16) both heart beat and motion data are obtained over the first time period and a recovery score generated from the data if the user has remained in the first position throughout the first time period.
