first example embodiment

[0264]In one example embodiment, FIG. 13 shows a first individual 1310, a second individual 1320 and an observer 1330 (e.g., a coach). In a situation where the observer 1330 is close enough, and he or she may be able to tell that the first individual 1310 is not ok (e.g., does not satisfy a predetermined HFOP threshold) and the second individual 1320 is ok (e.g., does satisfy a predetermined HFOP threshold) based on the fact that the first individual 1310 is on the ground 1340 and the second individual 1320 is standing. However, in this case, the observer 1330 may have to leave the scene to find help.

[0265]In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, where the first individual 1310 is wearing first location tag 1350 on, for example, their shoulder or chest area, a receiver processing and analytics system 110 or 110′ may be configured to utilize tag derived data from the location tag to determine if the first individual 1310 is ok (e.g. not on the ground, unmoving).

second example embodiment

[0269]In one example embodiment of the present invention, historical and contextual data, such as an individual's medical history data, may be utilized in conjunction with location data and sensor derived data to monitor the health and fitness of a person.

[0270]FIG. 14 shows an example method that may be executed by one or more machines (some examples of which are discussed in connection with FIGS. 1, 4A and 4B) to monitor the health and fitness of individuals using real time data processing and factoring in associated historical data, in accordance with some embodiments discussed herein.

[0271]As shown in block 1410 of FIG. 14, an apparatus, such as receiver processing and analytics system 110 or 110′, may be configured for accessing, capturing, and / or receiving tag derived data based on at least one location tag located on or near an object or person.

[0272]As shown in block 1420 of FIG. 14, an apparatus, such as receiver processing and analytics system 110 or 110′, may be configure...

Abstract

Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for monitoring the health and fitness of an individual. An example method comprises correlating a tag and a sensor to the individual, receiving tag derived data indicative of a location for the individual, and receiving sensor derived data indicative of at least one of a health, a fitness, an operation level, or a performance level for the individual. The method further comprises associating the sensor-derived data with the location for the individual based on the location of the sensor.
