Benefits of technology

This patent describes a management system that can track a user's energy expenditure more accurately by monitoring heat and motion through a device that is constantly worn by the user. This device is designed to be comfortable and convenient for long-term wear. The system also makes it easier for users to track their caloric consumption by allowing them to select from several methods, including an estimate for a certain meal. Additionally, a weight-loss software program is provided that automates the tracking of energy expenditure and provides relevant feedback to the user's weight loss goals.

Problems solved by technology

Without an accurate estimation of energy expenditure, the optimum energy balance cannot be reached.
The tracking of caloric consumption provided by the management system is based on the recognition that current manual nutrition tracking methods are too time consuming and difficult to use, which ultimately leads to a low level of compliance, inaccuracy in data collection and a higher percentage of false caloric intake estimates.
Most users are too busy to log everything they eat for each meal and tend to forget how much they ate.

Embodiment Construction

[0069]In general, according to the present invention, data relating to the physiological state, the lifestyle and certain contextual parameters of an individual is collected and transmitted, either subsequently or in real-time, to a site, preferably remote from the individual, where it is stored for later manipulation and presentation to a recipient, preferably over an electronic network such as the Internet. Contextual parameters as used herein means parameters relating to activity state or to the environment, surroundings and location of the individual, including, but not limited to, air quality, sound quality, ambient temperature, global positioning and the like. Referring to FIG. 1, located at user location 5 is sensor device 10 adapted to be placed in proximity with at least a portion of the human body. Sensor device 10 is preferably worn by an individual user on his or her body, for example as part of a garment such as a form fitting shirt, or as part of an arm band or the lik...

Abstract

A nutrition and activity management system is disclosed that monitors energy expenditure of an individual through the use of a body-mounted sensing apparatus. The apparatus is particularly adapted for continuous wear. The system is also adaptable or applicable to measuring a number of other physiological parameters and reporting the same and derivations of such parameters. A weight management embodiment is directed to achieving an optimum or preselected energy balance between calories consumed and energy expended by the user. An adaptable computerized nutritional tracking system is utilized to obtain data regarding food consumed, Relevant and predictive feedback is provided to the user regarding the mutual effect of the user's energy expenditure, food consumption and other measured or derived or manually input physiological contextual parameters upon progress toward said goal.
