Patent ID: 10039503

Abstract:
Techniques are provided for monitoring, analysis, and feedback of pressure measurements associated with anatomical regions of a subject user. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes receiving pressure measurement samples from a user-wearable device. The samples are associated with anatomical stress locations of the user, such as, for example, knees, feet, and/or back. The method further includes calculating a percentage of the samples that exceed a threshold pressure value during a selected time period. The method also includes determining an alert condition if the calculated percentage exceeds a percentage threshold value; and generating a notification message based on the alert condition. The notification message is wirelessly transmitted from the user-wearable device to the user's mobile communication device. In some embodiments, the threshold pressure value, selected time period, and percentage threshold value are operational parameters that are wirelessly transmitted from the mobile communication device to the user-wearable device.
