Abstract:
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a system that utilizes measurements indicative of respiration in order to estimate an aerobic activity parameter, such as oxygen consumption (VO 2 ), maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2  max), or energy expenditure (EE). In one embodiment, this system includes at least one inward-facing head-mounted thermal camera (CAM) and a computer. Each CAM, from among the at least one CAM, is configured to take thermal measurements of a region below the nostrils (TH RBN ) of a user. TH RBN  are indicative of an exhale stream of the user, such as an exhale stream from one, or both, of the nostrils and/or the exhale from the mouth. The computer calculates, based on TH RBN , the aerobic activity parameter. Optionally, the computer generates feature values based on data comprising TH RBN  and utilizes a model to calculate the aerobic activity parameter based on the feature values.

Claim (Index 4):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein each CAM, from among the at least one CAM, is located above the user's upper lip and less than 15 cm from the user's face, and does not occlude any of the user's mouth and nostrils; and wherein TH RN  comprise: (i) thermal measurements of at least one of first and second regions below right and left nostrils (TH RBN1  and TH RBN2 , respectively) of the user, which are indicative of an exhale stream from the right and left nostrils, respectively, and (ii) thermal measurements of at least one of a region on the mouth and a volume protruding out of the mouth (TH RBN2 ) of the user, which are indicative of an exhale stream from the mouth.
