[0003] [Explanation of related technologies] Current methods for problem-solving in biological sciences are often "precision biologics." It is a bottom-up approach called "G." Precision biology is the most... In generalized forms, the function is attributed to the parts, and the detailed measurement of the biological parts and the mechanics It connects the learning process ("Omics"). Furthermore, this method is particularly useful for discovering medical solutions. When applied to development and delivery, it is often also called "precision medicine." .
[0004] Precision biology is a field where knowledge gaps stem from a lack of understanding of "parts." This is based on the idea that detailed measurements and analyses will fill these knowledge gaps. For example, a fundamental tool in modern biological science is carbon-containing molecules, and other major atoms bonded together. is organic chemistry, the study of carbon. This is because, at least in part, genes, signa ling, and structural molecules in biological systems are mostly composed of carbon atoms. Theref ore, the methodology of precision biology attempts to quantify these organic chemical propert ies in further detail, thereby attempting to predict function and functions. However, the art generally does not recognize that many characteristics of biological systems are not suitable for the methodology of precision biology. One such example where the methodology of precisio n biology is insufficient lies in the measurement and prediction of emergent properties of complex adaptive (biological) systems. Emergent properties are properties of a system that are not found in the parts, or cannot be easily inferred from a detailed list or analysis of the parts included in the system. The methods of precision biology, which have today advanc ed to the methodological level, have a blind spot regarding emergent properties, and this bl
[0005] ind substantially limits progress in the fields of biology and medicine. All past and curren t understandings of biological systems, and how to monitor them to maintain or improve healt h, neither render the systems, methods and uses of the presently claimed technology predicta ble nor obvious, and from a historical perspective, various advantages of the presently clai
[0006] med technology have been elucidated. Measurement of human biological systems to understand th e function of human biological systems can be traced all the way back to Hippocrates approx imately 450 BC. Hippocrates is credited with separating medicine from religion in the context of human biological systems, thereby establishing a physical foundation for measuring, dia gnosing diseases and developing prognosis. Human biology is not a religion, but a physical The view that life can be understood from the perspective of natural science, after approximately 2,400 years, progressed until the Industrial Revolution.
[0007] From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, biologists and chemists, benefiting from industrial progress, began to adopt methods and techniques similar to those successfully used in physics, engineering, and industry. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, these methods were expanded to the successful identification of vitamins, which are food-derived enzyme cofactors, the biological basis of viral and bacterial infections and the means to prevent them, namely vaccines and antibiotics, as well as DNA, the genetic material, and the successful identification of how genetic information encodes proteins. These advances contributed to the remarkable improvement of the understanding in biological sciences and medicine.
[0008] In the most general sense, the tools and reasoning that promoted industrialization were used at that time to solve biological problems and are still in use today. At the core of this reasoning is a form of reductionism, exemplified in the scientific method by the generalized hypothesis of "which part gives rise to which function".
[0009] A precise approach to learning is most predictable when a simple and ordered relationship exists between a part and its function. Such examples may include a bicycle tire in a non-biological system, or genes and proteins important for energy synthesis and life itself in a biological system. In these cases, it can be expected that the measurement of the tire or the gene correlates with the function of the system. In the approach of precision biology, in non-biological systems designed and engineered by humans, these systems by definition follow a 1:1 relationship between parts and functions, so the It has the most positive predictive value. Also, in precision biology methods, the relationship between part and function It has a value in a biological system where a measurable relationship exists between them. In precision biology, a one-to-one relationship exists between a part and its function. If it is absent, the positive predictive value will be lost in the biological system. Between the part and its function. If there is no recognizable relationship between the parts, or two or more parts, Forming a new structure or function that cannot be easily predicted or recognized from parts alone. This is the case when one or more parts form a structure that does not exist in the parts alone. This characteristic, which is the ability to perform a function, is referred to as its "emergent structure or function" and collectively as its "emergent characteristic". It is "sex".
[0010] Current precision biologics for understanding the functions of biological and complex non-biological systems Gee's method uses these emergent properties to analyze complex, adaptable biological and non-biological systems. It is limited by the inability to measure, quantify, predict, adjust, maximize, design, and operate. These limitations are recognized at almost all levels of the biological system, including the biosphere itself. It can be done.
[0011] Precision biology approaches have limitations in understanding biological and human functions. There is a part-based method in which the function is organized and calculated from a self-contained part. This implicitly considers the biological system or humans as a collective entity. This embodies the methodology that preceded vitamins. This is because, today, the list of parts that contribute to the function is insufficient, resulting in skin It is also restricted to meat. Until relatively recently, precision biology methods in humans were It excluded approximately 1 to 10 trillion bacteria that make up the human microbiome. The approach of scientism biology is less critical of other parts and the overall context in which they exist. They are being viewed or excluded. Food may be an example. Human diets contain what are called phytonutrients. There are estimated to be over 30,000 low-molecular-weight plant-derived molecules, but these plant nutrients Only a fraction of the functions of the basic vitamins, less than 0.1%, are understood. Furthermore, precision Biological methods have underestimated the importance and significance of certain classifications of enzymes, and their The research priority has been lowered. This includes metabolic processes that interact with substances originating from the external environment. This may include, but is not limited to, enzymes such as oxidoreductases. When applied to medicine, the methodology of ology oversimplifies the complexity of biological systems. This is when the function of trying to understand disease is inherently emergent, and when diagnosing and treating disease There are extreme limitations in what can be developed.
[0012] Furthermore, precision biology methods are useful for understanding the health of species or species and resource collections. There are limitations. Precision biology methods are derived from the process of disease elimination. Health is considered as the absence of disease or the lack of disease. Today, human health is not a reality. This is a concept. This is not always true in many non-reductionist cultures. It is important to note that this is not limited to certain factors. Energy is an inherently emergent characteristic unrelated to disease. The concept of health as a state of well-being is common to many Eastern cultures and religions, and includes chakras and reflexes. Iki, prana, and qi were used in the West until around 400 BC, and more recently in the 1900s. As an artifact, it can be traced back. Health is essentially the basis of the function of a biological system. It is also called homeostasis. However, homeostasis is a precision biology. Interactions that do not exist in the method or are not recognized by precision biology methods Emergent properties are the complex interactions of many parts that generate transformable forms or functions. Precision biology approaches essentially involve the complex interactions between the internal and external environments. In open systems that depend on function, such as homeostasis (health), significant failures occur. As a result, disease The scale is used to determine a lack of health. The disease scale is essentially several Health is the resilience (adaptability) of a system, primarily expressed by its ability to sustain or acquire core functions. Alternatively, it may lag behind changes in "health capacity," making it an entirely inadequate substitute for health deficiencies. This is the result.
[0013] Furthermore, precision biology techniques are used in "genetic engineering" and industrial biology. There are limitations. Because there is no one-to-one relationship between genetic changes and the intended outcome, the intended result is Discontinuous (unhealthy) states that are contrary to new (synthetic) functions or survival rates frequently occur.
[0014] Furthermore, precision biology methods have limitations in their implementation. This is because... It requires extremely specialized and expensive equipment. Precision biology methods involve learning rates. There are also limitations. This results in an unmanageable number of false (positive) detections, and unexpected... The possibility of unintended consequences is underestimated. The cost, risk, and time of learning are also considered. The interval is extremely high, and the increasing E-room law applies. Law is limited by its invasiveness and ethical nature. Emergent characteristics are often external. While quantifiable, precision biology methods are typically unethical, harmful, Or involved in invasive testing or experimental euthanasia that could be lethal, all of which are frequent Furthermore, it reduces the practicality of obtaining sufficient measurements. Large sample size and actual human Without test data, it is impossible to obtain the statistical power necessary to distinguish a good hypothesis from a bad one. It is extremely difficult. This exacerbates the problem of false discoveries and generally lowers the learning rate in biological sciences. Further reduce. Precision biology approaches are human-centered in their approach to biological function. It is limited by its silence regarding its impact. This is related to the biological information that DNA is involved in. This is considered to include all of the above and to be more or less to have functions that occur immediately in stages. All of these have undergone significant changes over the past 100 years of the Anthropocene, including temperature. Interspecies / intraspecies dependencies, gravity, magnetic fields, ocean currents, population size, and other physical or biological information systems. This is not taken into consideration. Furthermore, precision biology methods have evidence to the contrary. Nevertheless, the "methodology" that "DNA is the basis of life" as "truth" It is limited by inference. Precision biology methods / methodologies have these limitations. Despite its limitations, this approach has been unilaterally continued as part of a series of "omics" revolutions. Since there can be countless sets of classifications for a part, methods based on parts are essentially inexhaustible. It is impossible to prove, and therefore impossible to falsify. The methodology of precision biology is such There is no way to prove that something is inherently wrong. This falsification implies that modern machines... Learning tools are making things even worse. Knowledge in precision biology methods The gap lies not in the methods themselves, but in the inadequacy of analytical methods for understanding the parts. It is currently speculated that machine learning tools can solve this problem using precision biology techniques. While it may be useful for simple problems, further analysis and data collection will reveal hidden aspects. This does not replace the need for new measurements that enable us to do so. Gee's method simply does not measure or recognize the emergent properties of biological systems that define the essence of life. That's it.
[0015] Therefore, it is necessary to understand the functions of complex adaptive systems, including biological and non-biological systems. By measuring and quantifying the emergent properties of physical systems, we can predict and optimize biological and non-biological systems. This is a new method that enables design and operation. This method is applicable to all biological and non-biological processes. "Knowledge integration (con)" takes into account the entirety of biological parts and systems and the emergent properties within them. It needs to be considered as part of the "silence" methodology.
[0016] The 2019 SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic, when applied to medicine, demonstrated precision. This highlights the shortcomings of existing biotechnological methods and the need for new approaches. In the field medicine approach, the disease status and immunity of infected individuals worldwide are assessed. We are trying to understand exactly whether or not this is the case. This is both impractical, slow, and costly. It takes time. What is needed is to measure changes in health, not disease, and to detect asymptomatic pathogens. It is an effective method to block and contain the spread of the virus. It maintains a healthy baseline, or homeostasis. Since it is an emergent property, the measurement of health is currently precision biology / precision This is overlooked and not achieved through conventional medicine methods.
[0017] The American Heart Association has stated that cardiopulmonary resilience (CRF) is an important marker of health, and that CR We express that F can be a clinically important overall metric for assessing health. For example, see Non-Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 2. CRF is used during physical activity. The circulatory and respiratory systems supply oxygen to skeletal muscle mitochondria for necessary energy production. It refers to the capacity of the organ system. CRF, for example, is measured via open-circuit spirometry during maximum motor activity testing. It can be estimated as the maximum oxygen uptake measured by [method]. However, CRF is [number] In that respect, it is an undesirable metric. For example, a device for measuring CRF is made of ware Rather than being a problem, CRF measurement and analysis are affected by delay time, and CRF monitoring continues It is not continuous. Furthermore, the cost of evaluating CRF can be high, and CRF indirectly affects metabolic health. It is a method of measurement that is not necessarily accurate, and the CRF measurement procedure requires skilled personnel. Medical professionals may be required. Therefore, CRF measurement is inaccurate and scalable. This is not always the case. As a result, CRF is a viable and easily available health indicator. It may be inappropriate for use.

[0019] To make the functions of complex adaptive systems more accurate, more accessible, more scalable, and easier to use. New systems and methods are needed to understand this. In theory, this will enable the prediction, optimization, design, and manipulation of biological and even non-biological systems. It is possible to consider all biological and non-biological parts and the entire system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0022] The role of organic chemistry or carbon chemistry in biological systems is particularly important for their selective chemical processes. The roles of hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen bonding in biological systems are being explored, but the role of hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen bonding in biological systems is not being investigated. No. Hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen bonds account for the majority of biological energy and entropy.

[Figure 3] Figure 3 graphically demonstrates that energy measurements are an early indicator of health loss. [Figure 4] Figure 4 schematically illustrates an embodiment of a learning strategy that uses energy measurement and annotation to learn the rules of health ability.

[Figure 10] Figure 10 schematically illustrates an example of how a device for measuring energy may be directed or positioned within a system that stores, processes, communicates, analyzes, and displays data and information. [Figure 11] Figure 11 shows an example of an embodiment of the output from a device that measures energy, or "energy characteristics," when measured in humans over a 30-day period, plotted as a ΔT versus time graph. [Figure 12]Figure 12 shows an example of an embodiment of the output from a device measuring energy, or "energy characteristics," measured in a human over one day in the exploded view (bottom), as a ΔT vs. time graph plot, and an example of such an embodiment of the output measured in a human over 30 days in the reduced view (top). [Figure 13] Figure 13 shows the annotation of "energy characteristics" by "metabolic tasks" for "quantifying metabolism" as a graph plot of energy consumption versus time.

[Figure 18] Figure 18 schematically illustrates an embodiment that describes how the work sensor signal is used to correct the heat sensor signal and obtain the resting metabolic state. [Figure 19] Figure 19 shows an example of data measured in tracking heat generation and heat removal in the circadian rhythm cycle, which is generally referred to herein as "thermal adaptation." [Figure 20]Figure 20 shows that while there is variation in the details of circadian rhythms, all healthy individuals exhibit overall alignment between work and heat removal. It also shows that disease, injury, and aging can reduce the body's ability to remove heat, resulting in a heat backlog that can accumulate throughout the day, and that a metric called thermal alignment quantifies alignment / backlog and is highly sensitive to changes in health. [Figure 21] Figure 21 shows the thermal misalignment due to the thermal backlog in unhealthy subjects, compared to the thermal alignment in healthy subjects. [Figure 22] Figure 22 illustrates the effects of the treatment, showing the thermal backlog and the effects of the treatment on achieving thermal realignment in unhealthy subjects. [Figure 23] Figure 23 shows the correlation between treatments and improvements in activity, with reference to "thermal adaptation."

[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0032] As mentioned above, the fundamental tools of modern biological science are carbon and its bonds with other major atoms. This is organic chemistry, a field of research that involves the genes and signals of living systems. This is because the ring and structural molecules are mostly made up of carbon atoms. However, carbon Atoms make up only about 12% of the human body, making them the third most abundant element. Carbon bonds are Despite their great diversity, carbon bonds are not the most abundant in the body, and in biology... It is not involved in the majority of energy transfer processes. On the other hand, biological systems The most abundant components in water are hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms are found in water, and And other major molecules (e.g., hydroxides, hydrogen ions, superoxides, hydronium) These hydrogen and oxygen-containing molecules constitute ions, hydrogen peroxide, trioxidanes, etc. This forms a vast network of constantly fluctuating hydrogen bonds, which pass through biological systems. It absorbs, retains, transmits, maintains equilibrium, moderates, and re-releases all of these energies. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms together make up over 85% of the human body, and all processes...

To learn, * Select a sensor that directly and / or indirectly measures the characteristics of [the subject] and utilize [the function] It is useful to use it. 1. High heat capacity: Due to the relatively high heat capacity of water and aqueous systems, the internal environment of biological systems is thermally stable. This provides a qualitative assessment. On the other hand, other typical or common solvents have a heat capacity that is essentially half that of water. It has a heat capacity of less than 1 minute. 2. Incompressibility: The relative incompressibility of water and aqueous systems provides physical stability to biological systems. It provides a basis. On the other hand, other typical or common solvents are substantially more compressible. Therefore, it is susceptible to structural damage. 3. High thermal diffusivity: Water and aqueous systems have an unusually high thermal diffusivity compared to solids.

[0036] "Health capacity" as used herein includes a biological system, such as a living organism. This refers to the unique characteristics of emergent systems. For example, Figures 2 and 3 show how "health capacity" emerges. This indicates whether it can be assumed as a unique characteristic of the system. In the context of biology, health capacity is, for example, Efficacy of organisms that enables the sustainability, function, or health of a biological system or organism. It can be considered to be energy and information. When health capacity is high, the system, for example, adapts. to be, or more specifically, healthy, or even more specifically, free from disease or infection It can be determined that there is no such thing. If health capacity is low, the system is weak, or more specifically, diseased or susceptible to infection or injury, or more specifically, infected or diseased It may be determined that the disease is caused by a decline in health capacity, or by itself. Loss of bodily function can lead to a decline in health capacity.
[0037] Within the context of the technology being disclosed, water * To quantitatively understand the relationship between heat and emergent properties, The first law of thermodynamics can be applied to obtain the "energy balance" by adding up the work done. nergy consumption supports "metabolic tasks" that underpin health capacity, while energy ex pression in biology is largely embodied in wate * r. Specifically, the connection between wate * , emergent properties, and health capacity, as exemplified in Equation 1, lies in the ability of wate * r to maintain and utilize physicochemi cal gradients to perform work. Equation 1: Water * + Gradient = Work = Metabolic Task → Health Capacity
[0038] Accordingly, health capacity can be understood as being involved in work that performs metabolic tasks and therefore requires energy consumption. A stable source of free energy is required to maintain the balance of energy consumption. Biological systems store free energy in the form of physical and chemical gradients. The amount of available energy is proportional to the scale of the gradient and the kinetics of the processes that control gradient relaxation. Aqueous solutions have a unique ability to support a wide variety of gradient types (thermal, pH, osmotic, redox, etc.), and the transport properties of water allow regulation of the kinetics of energy release. Gradients in aqueous solutions are often stabilized at biological structures, membranes of cells and organelles, tissue and organ boundaries, and around the skin. In fact, due to structural motifs in biology (cells and fractalized conduits), gradients can be ubiquitous and internal rather than integral and external. Therefore, the function of organic chemistry can be considered as utilizing and optimizing the health capacity of organized gradients in aqueous solutions, and optimally distributing this capacity across biological systems. Nevertheless, health capacity arises from the unique property of aqueous solutions to retain and release energy stored in physicochemical gradients, and precedes organic matter in origin. This is a phenomenon, and is also possible. An example of a gradient in a biological system linked to health capacity is vasodilation. The temperature gradient of the skin surface, which can be adjusted by tension, enables metabolic flexibility and homeothermy. The proton gradient of the mitochondrial membrane, the primary power source of nuclear cells, and the distribution of nutrients and water The hydrostatic pressure / colloid osmotic pressure balance is a major factor in the distribution, as well as the circulatory / respiratory system. This includes the Bohr effect and the Haldane effect as volume-increasing factors.
[0039] Health capacity, in biological systems, generally involves heat transfer (especially heat removal), and heat transfer (especially heat removal) This can be understood through the interrelated roles that water plays in the periodicity of ). The techniques described relate to the unique characteristics of one or more biological systems or populations of living organisms, and therefore, This enables insights into the health capabilities of such biological systems. The aforementioned technology allows for, for example, absolute It is now possible to measure the emergent properties of heat removal, which are measured as either a value or a periodic value, or both. The absolute value of heat removal can indicate or reflect energy consumption. The absolute value of heat removal is The metabolic rate may be indicated or reflected. The periodicity of heat removal may provide further insights into health capacity. This can provide an opinion. The periodicity of heat removal is circadian periodic (i.e., a cycle of about 23 hours). It can be a cycle of about 25 hours, and can have shorter cycles than circadian rhythms (for example, about 1 2. It may be a cycle of approximately 14, 16, 18, or 20 hours, or, Longer intervals than circadian intervals (for example, every 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, weekly, or approximately) This can occur monthly or on the 28th (lunar or yearly cycle). Periodicity can function as a characteristic feature of a biological system that has a standard, acceptable level of health, or it can be a counter-characteristic. It can be reflected. Deviations from the allowable periodicity of the standard in heat capacity are below the standard or acceptable. It may indicate or reflect health capabilities that are not reflected.
[0040] Regarding health capacity, “pre-symptomatic disease” is defined as used herein in relation to environmental stress Some metabolic tasks that compensate for this deplete the body's health capacity, and the ultimate result is disease. This refers to the process of loss of function. This reduced health capacity is an abnormality related to compensation. It can be detected as energy consumption, or as a somewhat more general anomalous energy feature. Yes. Such low or reduced health status generally poses a high risk of functional loss. Not only due to stress, but more specifically, generally susceptible to illness or infection. The individual is exposed to the condition. Furthermore, the term "symptomatic disease" as used herein A state of functional impairment, or more specifically, a disease state, or an organism that is, for example, a viral pathogen This refers to a state of infection in the body. Current practices exemplified by precision medicine methodologies... The legal theory uses symptoms as indicators of disease (shown in Figures 1 and 2). The technology disclosed here This enables the assessment and improvement of health capacity, as well as the identification of pre-symptomatic changes in health capacity. Static or dynamic measurements to enable early detection of disease or, more specifically, infection. The measurement and evaluation of "health capacity" as a measure quantifies the more comprehensive health benefits exemplified by this measure. We provide systems, devices, and methods for doing so (for example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3). Learning using energy measurement and annotation to learn the rules of health performance. Figure 4 shows an embodiment of how the policy is described.
[0041] In one embodiment, health is defined as the ability of a biological system or organism to function without significant loss of function. It relates to the ability to adapt appropriately to various changes. Physiologists refer to this, for example, as physiological storage. As a form of sufficiency of stored energy, that is, when humans can respond actively to stress Health can be described as the ability to sustain. Another example is the energy required for sustained energy. Health can be described as the ability to take in, transform, and dissipate things. As another example, Cell biologists define a baseline state of homeostasis as a state in which a cell or tissue can self-regulate. Health can be described as the ability to do so. As another example, biochemists have found that important genes in biological function are important. Health can be described as the regulation of anabolic and catabolic reactions in the physiological network.

[0126] (General conditions for sensor selection and design) Conditions for the design and selection of sensors, and for the selection of measurements performed by such sensors. The project involves the detection and quantification of heat and work over time to enable the construction of energy characteristics. Based on this, energy characteristics are annotated by metabolic tasks, and energy —By providing a balance, and quantifying health capacity through energy balance, maximize health and prevent disease. Furthermore, it allows students to learn the rules of health capacity and homeostasis.
[0127] The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but changes form in various ways. This states that this is possible. This law does not weaken even when the system becomes more complex. Typically, energy is accessed through the conservation of energy as it moves through biological systems. Energy consumption that is thought to be impossible, such as metabolic tasks and chemical processes that take place inside cells. It is acknowledged that opportunities are presented to quantify the energy of the work performed. These metabolic processes The body consumes energy in two ways. The first is heat production. The heat released is rapidly expelled from the body (in less than a minute). The second thing is work performance. It is a month. Work is often subsequently released as heat and / or further work. This results in the storage of energy in various physical or chemical forms.
[0128] The analytical view of the disclosed technology is that heat can be measured externally, making it far more quantitative than work. It is easier to do, and heat includes the energy that has been consumed so far as work. Therefore, non-invasive measurement of changes in heat or heat flow accurately reflects the heat consumed by previous work. Assuming that it can be mapped back, it enables the quantification of cellular work. For this purpose, various The metabolic task involves annotating the task with a timestamp to determine the thermal energy. - This will be quantified by associating it with feature recording. Furthermore, auxiliary sensors (for example) , accelerometer) and mobile applications have various characteristics, such as size, duration, To characterize metabolic tasks in terms of intensity, quality, type, etc., data and metadata are collected. They will gather data. Afterwards, they will use AI / ML to create a predictive model of energy features. This method is used to obtain detailed prototype thermal characteristics related to each metabolic task that are likely to affect detailed characterization. This model allows the user to learn how to perform metabolic tasks. Quantify related work in real time and understand its implications for energy balance. This will make it possible.
[0129] There is no single optimal way to characterize metabolic tasks, but heat and There is an optimal way to characterize the dominant form of work. This, in addition to concerns about feasibility, Information is provided regarding the selection of sensors for the initial prototype.
[0130] Future versions will be determined by empirical analysis of energy conservation. This will lead to the discovery of periods in which the measured balance is deemed to have a gap. It can be correlated with activity, metabolic tasks, or ambient conditions. It can also more accurately detect missing heat or work. To provide and characterize, a new passive sensor will be offered. By using energy balance as a metric, it can inevitably lead to the quantification of health capacity. This will involve identifying and quantifying all energy consumption processes in biology.
[0131] (Examples of use for quantifying sensors, measured data, and aspects of adaptive capability) (Example of sensor #1: Temperature and heat flux) In one embodiment of Sensor Example #1, the system described herein includes skin temperature and Includes a sensor module for measuring ambient temperature. For example, Figures 6 and 7. As shown in Figure 8, the sensor device measures skin temperature and ambient temperature, It may include a sensor module for generating data that reflects such measurements. Information about the system's temperature or core temperature can be inferred from such measurements. Other embodiments In this system, as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9, the system comprises at least (i) (ii) skin temperature, preferably with an accuracy of 0.1°C, (ii) ambient temperature, and (iii) three dimensions It may include a sensor module for simultaneously or substantially simultaneously measuring the motion characteristics of the objects.

The system and sensors are designed to detect living organisms. For example, it could be wearable for a human, and could be attached to the arm, chest, leg, abdomen, or any part of the body. It can be installed. The device includes a memory component that stores measurement data for more than one month. obtain.
[0132] In other examples, as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, the device is A wireless transmission module for sending data and displaying it on a smartphone or tablet. It may include. When the device is operated under conditions that it transmits a wireless signal at 30-second intervals, it will take approximately 6 hours. The device may include a monthly sustainable battery.

The device can be controlled via a smartphone or tablet. For example, a signal The transmission interval can be adjusted. The device will indicate the communication or operating status, or warnings and errors. It may include LEDs. The device may be water-resistant.
[0133] In another embodiment of Sensor Example #1, the system described herein is a system of heat flow or heat Sensor module for measuring skin temperature and ambient temperature to enable flow velocity measurement. Includes sensors. Today, the latest optimal standard for heat flow measurement is calorimetry. Direct calorimetry The measurement has become a highly reliable standard for heat flow measurement. In biology, direct calorimetry is used. It is used to quantify the heat transfer (thermoregulation) produced as a by-product of metabolism. Direct calorific value measurement in this context is extremely impractical because it requires isolating the subject in an "indoor calorimeter." It is correct.
[0134] Indirect calorimetry is a method of measuring heat flow by using an alternative measure to direct calorimetry. It overcomes the usual inconveniences. One method of indirect respiratory calorimetry is to measure oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. This is a measurement of substances. This method is considered the optimal standard in clinical practice. Indirect calorimetry is, Most of the heat generation occurs through oxidative phosphorylation-carbon oxidation (CO2 production) and oxygen reduction (oxygen consumption). It is based on the assumption that it originates from. Indirect calorimetry in clinical settings is based on the assumption that it originates from the individual subject. It requires expensive, intensive testing.
[0135] An example of a heat-measuring sensor of the disclosed technology, referred to for convenience as Sensor Example #1, is a biological system. For example, to directly measure the heat flow of a living organism, such as a human, approximate direct calorimetry is used. To be used. In some embodiments, example #1 of the sensor is a miniaturized heat measurement sensor. In this embodiment, example sensor #1 measures skin temperature and the air near the skin temperature measurement point. Simultaneously measure ambient temperature with at least two pre-calibrated solid-state digital thermometers. Includes a temperature sensor. Sensor example #1 continuously measures the local difference between ambient temperature and skin temperature. By doing so, we can determine the main mode of heat flow (loss) through the skin, that is, the main mode of energy loss in humans. Measure.
[0136] Sensor example #1 is, in one embodiment, for direct or indirect calorimetry in clinical settings. While not as accurate or precise, example sensor #1 is at least as effective as such methods. It has the advantage of continuously measuring metabolic rates on a sufficient scale. This allows for specific practical applications. In terms of application, example sensor #1 measures slight changes in metabolic rate over a long period, i.e., several days. However, detection is possible, and automated machine learning can be used for both individuals and populations. For example, please refer to Table 2 below.
[0137] The three concepts of temperature measurement, thermography, and calorimetry are often combined. However, there are differences between temperature measurement, thermography, and calorimetry. Thermography, or the use of a thermometer or thermal imaging device, measures the relative temperature of an object. It is a device and process. Heat measurement is a system that measures the absolute heat flow from an object. This is a process. Thermometers and thermal imaging devices measure deep temperature to measure heat generation, not heat flow. It is used as a substitute for. On the other hand, in a particular embodiment, example sensor #1 measures heat generation. It is configured to use a solid-state temperature sensor for measuring heat flow rate rather than constant temperature. Currently, all skin thermometers available for clinical use measure core body temperature, not heat flow rate. In other words, skin temperature is measured as a substitute for fever. They do not quantify ambient temperature, therefore Since radiant heat transfer cannot be calculated, the heat flow and metabolic rate obtained in the sensor example #1 are not precise or It is not possible to detect (or claim to be able to detect) an accurate change.
[0138] In a specific embodiment of the sensor example #1 shown in Figure 18, the system is any The system includes a combination of work sensors and thermal sensors. The system is based on the basal metabolic state or resting state. This could be implemented as a wearable device for evaluating the state of apology in real time.
[0139] Temperature regulation consists of two main components: heat production and heat removal. Healthy homeostasis is this A balance is needed between the two. These two components meet a wide range of energy demands. And there exists a dynamic balance that is kept approximately equal through the rate of change. These two configurations By continuously measuring elements and analyzing their temporal alignment, the system This allows for a much more detailed assessment of health than measuring only one or the other. can.
[0140] In the embodiment shown in Figure 18, the heat sensor may include an array of thermometers, and heat removal is performed. It can be estimated as the temperature difference on the skin surface of the physical system. The difference is not quantitatively equal to the heat at each point, but it correlates with real-time heat removal. To estimate heat production, we detect physical activity and infer the work done by the biological system. An accelerometer can be used as a work sensor.
[0141] Figure 18 shows the work sensor signal stream (e.g., accelerometer measurement over time) and the thermal sensor signal. This shows the temporal alignment between peaks and streams (e.g., temperature differences over time). During operation, the heat removal signal is interpreted as having two components: a resting component and an active component. In other words, total energy consumption is divided into resting energy consumption and physical activity energy consumption. It can be approximated by adding it to the energy consumption. Therefore, the work sensor signal stream By subtracting the function from the thermal sensor signal stream, a work-corrected thermal feature data stream can be obtained. The work-corrected thermal feature data stream can be used to estimate the basal metabolic rate or resting metabolic rate. It can be supplied to the decision support system.
[0142] In some embodiments, the decision support system may process the signal as a function of time, and The principle is a step of generating a first vector, the first vector described above is the signal described above. The features extracted from the above include the mean peak (P) amplitude and the mean peak (P) amplitude. Width, amplitude peak (P), standard deviation, through (T), amplitude, trough (T), mean amplitude, amplitude trough (T) ) Standard deviation, interval between peaks, high-frequency (PP HF) power between peaks, and their respective A step involving a combination of intentions, and a step of converting the first vector described above into a second vector. The above transformation includes a step that involves normalization, and classifying the second vector described above. A step of applying a classification algorithm adapted to the above classification algorithm The process is carried out by steps that include a set of classification and regression trees.
[0143] In some embodiments, the decision support system uses a machine learning classifier to analyze the signal. For example, support vector machine (SVM) classifiers, naive Bayes classifiers (NBC), And artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers may be used. In some embodiments In this system, the decision support system uses a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that takes into account the temporal dynamics of the signal. ) Algorithmic processing may be used. In some embodiments, the decision support system may use each time Multiple features are extracted from the signal by generating a feature vector for the inter-sectional area. In one embodiment, the decision support system considers each of the multiple signals with a shifted overlap time. By dividing the signal into segmented windows, multiple features can be extracted from multiple signals. The shift in the interval window results in multiple epochs being analyzed. For each epoch of the clock, multiple features characterize various related aspects of multiple signals. For example, it calculates the mean, standard deviation, frequency domain features, entropy, etc. (Feature vector) A toll is generated for each epoch of multiple epochs, and the feature vector is made up of multiple features. The feature vectors are input into a machine learning classifier to automatically classify each epoch. .
[0144] In addition, independent component analysis (ICA) and / or principal component analysis (PCA) can also detect any hidden signals. It can be applied to find this. Then, the temporal features are directed towards this (in some cases) It can be calculated from the (superimposed) signal representation. Regarding temporal characteristics, to enhance the desired signal characteristics Therefore, various nonparametric filtering methods, low-pass filtering, and bandpass filtering are used. High-pass filtering and high-pass filtering can be applied.
[0145] Parametric models, such as AR, Moving Average (MA), or ARMA (autoregressive and Models such as moving average models may be used, and the parameters of such models are autocorrelation and / or or obtained via partial autocorrelation, or through LPA, LMS, RLS, or Kalman filter. It is possible. All or part of the estimated coefficients can be used as features.
[0146] In some embodiments, the decision support system utilizes three levels of thermal feature metrics. They may be used or adapted, for example, by recording, processing, displaying, or implementing these metrics. Machine-readable instructions can be used for this purpose. (Level 0 metrics): Thermal characteristics are based on very basic metrics, such as mean and variance. The minimum and / or maximum values, etc., can be usefully quantified. These metrics / systems The meter can be used directly as an indicator of health status or changes therein. (Level 1 metrics): More advanced metrics for thermal characteristics include biological mechanisms and circadian rhythms. It incorporates one or more principles or concepts of health. For example, the principle is the literature on circadian rhythms. Therefore, the nonparametric statistics of circadian structure, namely inter-day stability (IS) and / or intra-day variation, are used. (IV) may include the concept. Other parametric methods for circadian analysis include Kosinah It is involved in fitting. This can be applied to any signal that has a periodic component. The metrics in this category involve complex fitting of many parameters. Therefore, each parameter is more informative than simple level 0 statistics, This can serve as an independent metric for cognitive ability. Furthermore, this level can be used in automated learning, such as artificial intelligence. This may include AI (Intelligent Abilities) and Machine Learning (ML). (Level 2 metrics): Level 1 metrics can be extremely informative, but not necessarily It is not necessarily possible to interpret or transfer between individuals. Level 2 metrics are met These limitations are addressed by comparing Rick to a historical baseline of a single individual. Wearlab is continuously collecting thermal characteristics over a period of several weeks or months. By designing a device, a detailed baseline can be established. These baselines allow for high reliability / significance in changes in thermal characteristic metrics. It is possible.
[0147] As an example, Figure 27 shows time-series data of heat and work in a healthy person. Figure 27 shows two A 48-hour thermal pattern exhibiting stochastic and pseudo-periodic features, including a complete sleep / wake cycle. This is a diagram showing the characteristics. The gray hexagonal background represents the thermal characteristics collected for the same individual in the previous month. This is a histogram showing the values. By comparing the thermal characteristics (curves) with the gray background, we can see the values. It is possible to identify periods of high or low temperatures in the line. By visually juxtaposing information such as "Level 2," users or medical professionals can easily understand the context. It can be seen. Predictable heat dissipation in conjunction with the sleep-wake cycle and activity. There is a 4-hour fluctuation.
[0148] In some embodiments, the analysis software uses machine-readable instructions to analyze the metric over Percentile scores for relevant health metrics relative to the previous baseline can be calculated. In clinical or consumer cases, warnings should be issued at a percentage of the level of caution or concern. A threshold can be set (e.g., 95th percentile) to prevent critical events or to optimize performance. The following health issues can be quickly corrected. Along with the display of this type of thermal characteristic, metrics and The contextualization of Level 2 of the trick and the juxtaposition of it with a user interface This will allow users to gain a deeper understanding and intuition of the key features of its thermal properties. The probabilistic nature of thermal characteristics is initially difficult to interpret, so this feedback is important. In some embodiments, the user interface may incorporate Level 2 analysis.
[0149] Figure 28 shows the process of correcting the thermal sensor signal to obtain the resting metabolic state, as shown in Figure 18. An example of a decision support system that can be used by an embodiment that utilizes sensor signals is shown. In some embodiments, the decision support system includes (1) a data stream of information, and (2) Two parameters that can influence decisions made based on the data stream It is obtained based on high-level elements. These two elements combine when generating the decision output. It can be used for that purpose.
[0150] The data stream of information preferably relates to important decisions and is highly uncertain. It may receive. The data stream is preferably, in some cases, similar to the decision made in clinical medicine. It can be constructed in a way that minimizes the uncertainty inherent in the process. For example, see Figure 28. As shown, the data stream may be "wearable health monitor data".
[0151] In a preferred embodiment, the decision support system includes the two high-level elements described above. It involves two components related to the fundamentals. That is, (1) storing data in a central repository. Hardware and software for reaming and constructing useful records for each individual, For example, as shown in Figure 28, to extract "health metrics", use "wearable health (2) Applicable to supply "health monitoring data" to the "analysis engine", and (2) application A communication interface or digital portal, for example, the "Personal Health" shown in Figure 28. Like a portal, the system evaluates the acceptable range of some metric and exceeds the threshold. It involves systems that can trigger a warning when a certain condition is detected. For example, an analysis engine can track To identify relevant health metrics to track, based on standard inputs or collected data... Based on the data, artificial intelligence may be used to assess health or health ability, and each metric Appropriate and / or inappropriate ranges can be identified. As a further example, the acceptable range is shown in Figure 28. This may be the "health metric determination threshold" shown. In some embodiments, personal health Portals can be personalized. In a preferred embodiment, a personal health portal is individual, or This can be done by a family member or a representative such as a healthcare professional, for example, "related to setting a health emergency." It can operate via a UI (User Interface). In the embodiment shown in Figure 28, Subsequently, the system generates an "Automatic Health Determination Output" using "Health Metrics" and Combine with the "health metric determination threshold". In a preferred embodiment, automated health Health decision output is a recommendation for medical and / or consumer health interventions, or further clinical trials. It may contain suggestions for experimentation.
[0152] In one example relating to medical applications, a medical decision support system preferably comprises two main components. It accepts input from an interface, (1) physiological data from the patient, and (2) The decision threshold associated with each data stream can be determined by the physician / patient. You can obtain parameters related to the set risk / susceptibility. The primary purpose of wearable devices is to transmit data streams from the device to the patient or This may involve comparing it to the level of concern set by the healthcare provider. Regarding the state, decision support uses the incoming data to obtain information previously acquired about the same individual. This is possible by comparing it with the distribution of past data.
[0153] In some embodiments, the decision support system can be implemented in a processing circuit. The processing circuit is Correlation analysis that correlates environmental factors with contextual data and measured signals corresponding to the user. Engines, environmental factors, and context data may be included and communicated to the system during operation. The data is collected by one or more connected sensors. The processing circuit then processes the entire set of correlated data. It may further include a recommended engine for analysis. The processing circuit may be based on the user or the user's environment or Contextual classification related to sensor or perceptual readings related to behavior is performed by inference. It may further include a context inference engine that identifies context classifications, and a correlation engine. It is used to provide a set of correlated data. The processing circuit takes the measured signals and A spectral analysis unit configured to generate at least one spectral analysis signal. It may further include. Spectral analysis is based on Fourier-based methods, wavelets. This includes using at least one of the following methods: a multifractal spectroscopy method or a multifractal spectroscopy method. It is possible. Spectral analysis can be discrete or continuous.
[0154] The analysis of the measured signals was performed entirely on wearable devices, and partially on wearable devices. This may be done on the vise, partially elsewhere, or entirely elsewhere. In all cases, when performing analysis on a wearable device, the wearable device also records Includes a microprocessor that performs the method of implementation completely or partially. Certain other embodiments include To perform the methods described herein, a computer system other than a microprocessor is required. This can be used. For example, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) can be described in the following way. It can be used to perform some or all of the following tasks.

In some embodiments, The accelerometer measures the amount of energy the user has burned over a predetermined period, for example, calories. It is configured to detect [something]. In some embodiments, the accelerometer includes a power saving function. Specifically, to conserve power, the accelerometer detects user activity at a certain threshold level. It will remain inactive and power-reduced until it is released. User activity threshold level When a bell is detected, a short portion of the waveform is analyzed to determine whether to continue analyzing the accelerometer signal. To determine whether or not to activate the accelerometer, the threshold for activating it is determined by the history of the accelerometer signal, and the sequence of events. Furthermore, it can be made a function of inputs from other sensors, such as ambient light sensors and skin temperature sensors. This is possible. Furthermore, in order to tailor the estimation to the user, user-specific information such as age, Gender, height, and weight can be used.

For example, the mean value and variation of a parameter may be related to the circadian cycle. It can change over time based on this. Physiological parameters are consistent with the normal circadian rhythm. It can change throughout the day with a regular schedule that depends on the time of day. Furthermore, these The parameters may vary based on the subject's physical activity or metabolic rate. Physiological parameters Temporal patterns can be quasi-periodic, or in certain special cases, perfectly periodic. Quasi-periodic rhythms are defined on a timescale of seconds, minutes, extra-daily, circadian, circa-month, or It could be a timescale of years.

This can be maintained within a threshold zone rather than at a specific temperature. This zone is maintained between individuals. It can fluctuate and may have a circadian cycle within a particular individual. When the temperature deviates to a low level, a series of coordinated reactions occur, particularly surface vasoconstriction, shivering, and metabolic thermogenesis. This occurs when the body's core temperature deviates above the threshold zone, particularly causing surface vasodilation. A series of coordinated reactions occur, including tension and sweating. Furthermore, deviation from the interthreshold zone is associated with the environment. This relates to behavioral patterns such as trying to gain or avoid the environment.

[0196] (Use of systems and methods for quantifying, regulating, and improving human health) Automated, real-time measurement, wearable, referred to herein as Device #1 The rubble device estimates the energy balance in order to quantify metabolism in human subjects. It is configured to quantify one or more emergent properties, and thus enable the regulation or optimization of health. (As shown in Figures 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16).
[0197] Currently, there is no agreed-upon measure of health. Health is defined as the absence of disease (symptoms). Disease metrics are lagging indicators of impaired health, so they can be used to assess health. It does not reflect the disease, and therefore cannot be optimized for actual health, not the resulting illness. Advances in our understanding have shown that early changes in inflammation can be predictors of disease. However, inflammation is also a delayed sign of the onset of the disease.
[0198] Inflammation is a common pathway that can affect any organ system in the body. The inflammatory response is related to exercise. And from a normal response to training, it is now linked to carcinogenesis and neurodegeneration. It can be induced by a series of stimuli or stresses, ranging from the mechanism to the mechanism described above. Clinical signs of inflammation are Traditionally, symptoms have included elevated fever, pain, redness, swelling, and loss of function (in Latin, calor, d The five elements are defined as color, rubor, tumor, and function (laesa). Currently, early inflammation, or so-called pro-inflammation, is considered a risk factor for disease. The parameter is water * Please pay attention to the relationship between changes in these factors and inflammation, such as temperature and swelling.

Measure. Health is characterized by age-dependent loss of health capacity or loss of condition. It should be noted that this can be determined in terms of the state. Device #1 is (rapidly treating the disease) It can measure seemingly small changes in health ability (that result from), or what is commonly known as "weakness." .
[0201] (Use of systems and methods for detecting and preventing disease) Automated, real-time measurement, wearable, referred to herein as Device #1 The rubble device estimates energy balance, that is, quantifies metabolism, in human subjects. It is configured to quantify one or more emergent properties, enabling early detection and prevention of disease. .
[0202] Currently, diseases are detected with a delay. As of 2020, 70% of the annual US healthcare budget is for chronic diseases. It is spent on disease management. The current standard is to use disease symptoms as a way to screen for diseases. The task is to do so. Disease symptoms are indicators of the delayed onset of the disease, and do not reveal the exact extent of the underlying injury. This obscures the facts. As a result, by the time they are detected, significant damage has occurred. This makes it difficult to understand the exact cause, increases diagnostic costs, and hinders the optimal treatment. This narrows the scope of treatment and worsens outcomes both economically and personally. These inefficiencies are common. However, the current global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019 has revealed that Infection is not detected, the prognosis of individuals worsens, the spread expands, and containment deteriorates. .
[0203] Device #1 enables the quantification of health loss, the quantification of frailty, and the early detection and prevention of disease. Therefore, it is an emergent characteristic underlying health capacity that occurs before inflammation, pre-inflammation, or disease. Measure the changes in the energy balance. [Table 2] [Table 3]
[0204] (Data and learning engine) In one embodiment, the disclosed technology provides a novel method for measuring and learning about emergent complex adaptive systems. This relates to a specific method. Some embodiments are shown in Figures 13, 14, 15, and 16. In this context, the disclosed method is designed to identify emergent patterns of behavior in the system as a whole. Use experiments or observations. Then, the method determines what is most important among objects, individuals, or groups. Determine whether it is a connection or an interaction. Furthermore, the method involves these connections, including metabolic tasks. A simple model that incorporates the observed emergent behavior into a systematic concept that can explain it. To construct and elucidate. In doing so, to explain emergent behavior in other systems or fields. It is often useful to consider the systematic concepts used in the models presented. Furthermore, the method involves comparing the results and predictions with those from experiments or observations.
[0205] In some embodiments, the method involves a new sensor to form a new measuring tool. In some embodiments, the method This involves using existing sensors to measure new parameters. In embodiments, the method involves annotating measurements by metabolic tasks, etc. This involves using a new sensor to measure parameters.
[0206] In some embodiments, the method begins with the first principles of physics, followed by measurement and learning engines. To develop this, we use the first law of thermodynamics. Non-equilibrium materials have unique properties that self-organize. To possess characteristics, namely the adaptive or health capabilities exemplified by a "healthy" biological system. Note that non-equilibrium thermodynamics is an unfinished area of physics, and in biological systems... The origin and nature of health capabilities remain a mystery. Nevertheless, the learning engine will not... To understand the energy balance of an equilibrium system, we need to consider general laws such as the conservation of energy, as well as heat. And general energy consumption such as work can be applied. In some embodiments, By continuously measuring heat and work on a sufficient scale, the learning engine He began to decipher the thermodynamics of biological systems by process of elimination, and iteratively demonstrated increasingly detailed energy balances. This is possible. If the inter-subject variation in this energy balance correlates with health outcomes, then learning The engine can learn about health capabilities. The learning engine can learn at various scales. Describes the rules of health capacity or homeostasis, and a wide range of energy across the biosphere. Further learning is possible regarding fluctuations within and between the target groups of income and expenses.
[0207] In some embodiments, data analysis (for example, as shown in Figures 15A and 15B) is performed. The data analysis method performed by the learning engine (or by a machine learning engine) has three levels of thermal feature metrics. The buck can be adapted or utilized. (Level 0): For example, thermal characteristics are very basic metrics, namely mean, variance, and maximum The minimum and maximum values can be usefully quantified. These metrics / statistics are useful for health It can be used directly as an indicator of a state or its change. Example #1: The average value of this thermal characteristic is 2.3. Example #2: The minimum value of this thermal characteristic over the past 24 hours is -0.2. (Level 1): For example, more advanced metrics of thermal characteristics can be used to understand biological mechanisms and circadian health. It is built by incorporating an understanding of health. For example, metrics of circadian rhythms, such as diurnal stability. Nonparametric statistics of sex (IS), diurnal variation (IV), and circadian structure, etc. Circadian analysis Other parametric methods for this involve cosiner fitting. It can be applied to any signal that has a period component. There are many metrics in this category. The fitting of the parameters can become extremely complex, and each parameter It is an independent metric of health capacity that has more informational value than simple level 0 statistics. To obtain. Also, this level is, for example, a component of human input and / or human training. This may also include / or automated learning, such as artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML). Example #1: The day-to-day stability of this thermal characteristic is 0.42. Example #2: In the time series prediction of a recently trained long-short-term memory (LSTM) network... Therefore, the parameter at index #4.45.2 has a value of -2.56. (Level 2): Level 1 metrics can be extremely informative, but not necessarily between individuals. It is not possible to interpret or transition between them. Level 2 metrics are single metrics These limitations are addressed by comparing the individual to past baseline data. Use wearable devices to continuously collect thermal characteristics over a period of weeks or months. By designing, a detailed baseline can be built. This allows for high reliability and significance in the measurement of changes in the thermal characteristics metric. • Example #1: The inter-day stability of this thermal characteristic is 0.42, or 78 percent compared to the typical value of the previous month. It is a stylistic choice. Example #2: The rolling mean of the time-resolved percentile score of the thermal feature is 9.2. This suggests a significant decrease in peripheral perfusion.

By increasing the severity of or predicting and preventing the target disease, the quality of life can be improved or individual New measures of health and mechanisms to enable the body to efficiently manage / regulate its health. This concerns a new method for automating the trick, as shown in Figures 11, 12, 13, and 14. In some embodiments, the new measure is water * Based on its unique physical and chemical properties This can be direct or indirect. The learning engine uses each of the unique properties of the water it measures. Machine learning algorithms can assign estimated biochemical functions to health performance.

It may include movement and activity states including lying down without limitation, and generates values for such variables. The algorithm for this purpose uses, for example, a two-axis accelerometer, a heat flow sensor, a GSR sensor, and skin temperature sensors. This is obtained based on data from sensors, a body-near ambient temperature sensor, and a heart rate sensor.
[0212] There are several types of algorithms that can be used to calculate this. For example, but not limited to these, This includes user characteristics, continuous measurement, sustained context, instantaneous events, and cumulative state.

Includes the wearer's permanent and semi-permanent parameters, including the nature of information. Continuous measurement. An example is energy consumption, which is the number of calories consumed by the wearer. For example, measure continuously every minute. A continuous context is sleep, driving, or jogging. These are behaviors that last for a certain period of time. Instantaneous events are constant events such as a heart attack or a fall. It occurs in a time period or a very short time period. The cumulative state is the state of the person This can be estimated from the behavior over some period of time. For example, a person sleeping for 36 hours. If you haven't eaten for 10 hours, you are likely fatigued.
[0213] The technology being disclosed automates the physiological and contextual state of the wearer. It can be used as a method for that purpose.

[0214] In some embodiments, a line is used to map data from multiple sensors to a desired variable. A geometric or nonlinear mathematical model or algorithm is constructed. This process involves several steps. It consists of [something]. First, the subject wearing the wearable device is subjected to real-world conditions as closely as possible. To place the subject in a similar situation (with respect to the parameters being measured) and to ensure that the subject is not endangered, The variables predicted by the proposed algorithm are obtained using extremely precise medical-grade laboratory equipment. This allows for highly reliable and simultaneous measurement, and data is collected based on the target. The first step involves the following two, which will then be used as input to the algorithm development process. The data consists of two sets: (i) raw data from a wearable device, and (ii) The proposed solution provides data consisting of optimal reference labels measured with more accurate laboratory equipment. When the variables predicted by the algorithm relate to context detection, such as car travel. The optimal reference data is information manually entered into a wearable device or PC, or manually The information recorded is provided by the subject itself, etc. The collected data, i.e. Both the raw data and the corresponding optimal criterion indicator data are then compiled into a database. It is divided into a practice set and a test set.
[0215] Next, using the training set data, we associate the raw data with the corresponding optimal criterion marker data. We will construct a mathematical model that enables this. Specifically, we will use various machine learning techniques to create two types The algorithm, i.e., 1) levels measured in the laboratory (e.g., metabolic cart, Douglas Bakr) Feature detection that produces results highly correlated with VO2 level information from a bag or doubly labeled water. 1) An algorithm known as the output device, and 2) various contexts useful for the entire algorithm Contextual detection to predict actions (e.g., running, exercising, lying down, sleeping, driving). An algorithm known as an output device is generated. In this step, an artificial neural network is used. Attribute selection by decision tree, memory-based method, boosting, cross-validation, and probability Many machine learning techniques, including target search methods such as pseudo-annealing and evolutionary computation, It can be used. After a suitable set of feature detectors and context detectors is found, how many This machine learning method cross-validates the model using training data, and the quality of the model on the data. It is used to enhance [something]. The techniques used at this stage include multiple linear regression and local additive regression. Multiple regression, decision trees, artificial neural networks, stochastic search methods, support vector machines This includes, but is not limited to, , and model trees.
[0216] At this stage, the model makes predictions, for example, every minute. Next, the predictions every minute are incorporated. By creating an overall model, the impact of each minute is taken into account. In this step, To utilize the temporal continuity of the data, windowing and threshold optimization tools are used. It can be used. Finally, in a test set that has not yet been used to create the algorithm, The performance of the model in the test set can be evaluated. Therefore, the model in the test set can be evaluated. Performance is the expected performance of the algorithm on other unseen data. It estimates well. Finally, the algorithm is actually tested with new data for further validation. You can take the exam.

Energy consumption (REE) accounts for approximately 80% of total energy consumption. E. (3) Humans lose about 60% of their energy as heat and only 40% as work. Therefore, it is an inefficient machine. EE is approximately 60%ΔQ + 40%ΔW. (4) Intracellular The work performed there is mostly the movement of water and ions, proteins and biochemicals (intermediate metabolism). This is the work of synthesis of ). Therefore, ΔW is 25% ion transfer, 25% structure, and 5% biochemistry. It is estimated to be 0%. (5) The heat produced within cells is the same as the heat produced by organs. It is the same as the heat detected as being released from the body through the skin. Therefore, ΔQ is It is the same. (6) Ideally, the device can quantify all the work done, but V The 1.0 devices focus on sensors that were mostly commercially available. (7) Water-related Since there are commercially available sensors that can quantify the heat flow and work, the accuracy of device #1 is as follows: It is estimated to be approximately 85% of total ΔE or energy expenditure. This accuracy is used to quantify health and To optimize and detect and prevent disease before it develops, the energy balance is quantified, and water * to It is sufficient to capture the work that was done in which they were involved.

Wireless output from the device The force is measured by timestamp, air (ambient) temperature, skin temperature, acceleration data, and error status (if any). (In some cases), and the device's battery voltage, all of which are transmitted to the phone via BLE. Data will not be provided to patients or individuals who possess the device.

[0291] Sensor system #1 continuously and accurately measures and acquires data related to heat flux. It is a wearable sensor-integrated system. Compared to existing approved alternatives, To reduce or eliminate the need for hospitalization, improve the quality of life of patients If a person can manage or establish their own medical care (through self-management-type personal support, etc.) in the long term It offers greater advantages than existing alternatives, including the potential to encourage [something].
[0292] Sensor system #1, in a specific embodiment, enables pre-symptomatic detection of infection. It is a miniaturized indirect calorimeter that continuously measures metabolic rate at 1-second intervals for 300 days. .
[0293] The pathogen triggers a catabolic response in the host, leading to fever. [A change in core body temperature of 1°C occurs.] Each time, energy consumption changes by approximately 13%. The change in metabolic rate that leads to heat production is deep Because it precedes changes in internal temperature ("heat generation"), Sensor Alpha detects temperature changes before conventional temperature measurements. It works by detecting stains.
[0294] Infectious diseases can be detected and prevented by real-time indirect calorimetry of metabolic rate. .
[0295] Sensor system #1 is a system based on known sensors, provided that it meets at least the following conditions. It is distinguished from Mu. Hardware design: Sensor system #1, in a specific embodiment, measures heat flow and metabolic rate. It simultaneously measures both ambient temperature and skin temperature, which are essential for accurate, real-time quantification. It is composed of sea urchin.
[0296] Skin temperature is determined by a combination of two thermal contributions: external (surroundings) and internal (metabolism). This is determined by the equation T_Skin = T_Peripheral + T_Metabolism. In the formula, T_metabolism is the contribution of the body's metabolic heat to skin temperature. Newton's cooling According to the law, the metabolic rate of the body, MR, is given by MR = k(T_skin - T_surroundings) = kT_metabolism. This will follow a proportional relationship. Therefore, the difference between skin temperature and the adjacent ambient temperature is measured. By defining this relationship, approximate direct heat quantity measurements can be performed. One could try an approximation or some other simple model that treats temperature as a constant. However, Skin temperature and air temperature are highly correlated on short time scales due to counterflow exchange processes. Any model that attempts to estimate heat flux without local measurements of ambient temperature is extremely inaccurate. Yes. In other words, fluctuations in ambient temperature are typically more significant than fluctuations in the temperature difference between the skin and the air. Much larger. Empirically, the ambient temperature fluctuation scale is significant even in mild climates. It is known to be about three times larger than kale. Carefully remove the fluctuations caused by ambient temperature. This completely obscures the fluctuations caused by metabolic processes. Therefore, skin temperature and Simultaneous measurement of ambient temperature is crucial for the performance of this type of heat measurement. be. [Table 5]
[0297] (Platform software: learning engine) (Learning the rules of health ability) The rules governing the emergence of health capacity in biological systems are, in a preferred embodiment, This can be obtained based on a training set and performed by machine-readable instructions. For example, a training set The metrics are classified into correlations between specific metrics, evaluated over time, and independently of the individuals being evaluated. It is compared with the health assessment. While the high correlation between specific metrics and health assessments is enhanced, We do not give much weight to insufficient correlations between specific metrics and health assessments. Mutual reinforcement and reweighting are used to generate correlations, and those correlations are now It is reduced to machine-readable instructions for evaluating subsequent metrics. Health ability is directly measurable. It may not always be the case, and the rules for it may not always be the case. However, Based on the continuous measurement of biological energy consumption, in a preferred embodiment, health capacity This allows for an understanding and quantification of the function of biological systems, particularly health performance closely related to the function of biological systems. By quantifying various expressions of force or its derivatives, the health capacity in a biological system can be measured. We can obtain rules that govern emergence. Such expressions are related to energy balance and characteristics. Includes.
[0298] (Energy characteristics / balance as an expression of health capacity) Biological processes that generate heat are carried out in accordance with the logic of energy balance. The energy balance provides some kind of health benefit. Energy characteristics are ongoing It represents the effect of health capabilities in response to stress and circumstances. It predicts energy characteristics in advance. Therefore, the systems and methods disclosed herein are accurate and correlate with health capacity. It provides a model of the internal process. These systems and methods are the consequences of disease and illness. It is possible to predict the duration and energy characteristics. Energy characteristics are based on past energy characteristics or Since they can be predicted from energy balance, each is useful as an expression of health capacity.
[0299] (Annotation, metabolic tasks, and key health determinants) Sleep, diet, exercise, and lifestyle are recognized as major determinants of health (KDoH). Each of these determinants may be involved in several overlapping metabolic tasks. Positive involvement in this requires involvement in a combination of metabolic tasks that are proportional to the human energy balance. Yes. On the other hand, insufficient engagement with KDoH is a set that is not proportional to the human energy balance. This leads to metabolic tasks. Therefore, the annotation strategy is based on the existence of human regulation. We focused on KDoH resolution. Annotation is primarily performed at the KDoH level. This results in a higher resolution at the level of individual metabolic tasks and underlying mechanisms. Stations can be used to enhance learning.
[0300] (Platform software: learning engine) The technology platform is intended for the description, prediction, and inference of biological systems, and is based in Germany. A learning engine capable of continuously acquiring data from its own sensor hardware, It includes mobile application software and cloud infrastructure. The data collected will support the quantification of energy consumption and characteristics in metabolic tasks and other Energy measurements and auxiliary sensor data intended to characterize biological processes. This will include biological or environmental factors. The learning engine will perform the following functions: Yes. - Quantify the energy characteristics. - Correlate energy characteristics and functions, diseases, and outcomes. - Infer the rules of energy balance from the relationship between annotations and energy characteristics. ru. - Correlate energy balance with function, disease, and outcomes. -Improve and test the quantification of energy balance through app-based recommendations and feedback. To test. - Related to energy balance under various stresses, as indicated by the probability of persistence. To estimate health capacity. - Important regularities in the energy balance, which are necessary and sufficient conditions for health capacity, namely health Identify the rules of the abilities. - "Energy gap" as evidence of the need for further annotation or sensors Identify.
[0301] (Software learning policy) This technical challenge involves extracting simple energy balance rules from complex continuous energy features. The goal is to achieve this. To that end, we developed our learning strategy using two elements. First, time stan Annotations with a pin are associated with KDoH, and energy consumption is associated with important metabolic tasks. They were associated. By learning the patterns in these temporal relationships, energy We can then estimate the energy balance that describes the main components of the features. By annotating and quantifying the relevant components, continuous and ongoing monitoring is used. This allows us to detect previously unseen anomalies in energy features that have not been detected or explained before. It is possible. Through the processing of continuous approximations involved in new annotation and sensors, energy Energy features will be described and predicted with increased completeness and accuracy. As the revenue-expense model becomes more accurate and the dataset grows, the number of people with low or zero health capacity will increase. It becomes possible to identify unstable regions within an energy balance space or area. The boundaries of the area will be determined by the rules of health capacity. Species existing along the boundaries By investigating / analyzing individual health conditions and disease states, and determining their major weaknesses, we can assess their overall health capabilities. The rules can be inferred.
[0302] (Conceptualization and visualization of energy balance) Many biological processes perform tasks that cannot be directly measured, but those tasks are also later This can manifest as waste heat. For example, consider the circulatory system, which is involved in multiple stages of energy conversion. Consider this. A careful energy audit may include the following steps: (Step 1) Cardiac tissue In order to produce ATP, chemical bonds are broken (work and heat), (Step 2) the myocardium Use ATP to contract (work), (step 3) blood against viscosity / friction in the blood vessels Heat is pushed through the structure, and (step 4) oxygen reaches the periphery and is used in mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation becomes possible (heat and work). Steps 2 and 3 are: This is related to the energy already counted in Step 1. The energy originates from (gluco It has three stages: metabolic processes, an intermediate form (kinetic energy of blood), and a final form (heat dissipation). Steps 2 and 3 have an energy conversion efficiency that is always less than 100%, therefore Step 1 This will decrease to some extent. Step 4 is a step that follows steps 1, 2, and . This results from Step 3, but involves a separate energy balance in which a separate fuel source is involved. It is consumption. Nevertheless, the energy generated in step 4 is proportional to the oxygen supplied. Therefore, there may be useful correlations that can be utilized.
[0303] To properly categorize energy balances without duplicating energy is this This is a major technical challenge in the endeavor. The most common description of the double counting problem is energy This can be measured at various points in the flow, and misalignment of the relationship can lead to double counting. Therefore, by making the various components of energy into a triangular shape through half-overlap measurements, This makes it possible to construct a Ghee-style Sankey-type map.
[0304] In particular, Figure 5 (and also Figures 11 and 12) functionally illustrates the flow of energy. By doing so, the disclosed technology avoids double counting and learns the structure of energy relations. Sometimes it shows what is possible. Therefore, sensors and metadata that cross Sankey diagrams in diverse ways. You can choose which data to collect. Each time you add a measurement, the resolution is added to the flow map. It can be done.

It includes hardware that senses temperature changes, and this data is used to analyze energy between heat and various types of work. The distribution of ghee, in other words, the "energy balance," is saved in real time. Streaming to software for analysis and display. Energy feature distribution, frequency Changes such as amplitude or rate of change precede standard vital signs and are informative. The value of that learning increases.

In some embodiments, The sensors may include relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, and light sensors. In some embodiments, The NSA takes known values of human energy consumption and their allocation to the cellular level, and How cellular energy is consumed in heat production and the active transport of ions and water, It can be considered.
[0309] In some embodiments, the sensor of the generalized health learning device is the following in the energy balance The following is selected based on the estimation: (1) On a physiological scale, total energy expenditure is at rest. This is the sum of energy consumed per hour, energy consumed through diet, and energy consumed by the body, and represents total energy expenditure. EE = resting EE + physical activity EE + meal EE. This is the physiological energy balance. (2) Resting energy expenditure (REE) is approximately 80% of total energy expenditure. Yes. REE is about 80% EE. (3) Humans lose about 60% of their energy as heat. It is an inefficient machine because it only considers 40% as work. EE is approximately 60%ΔQ+ 40%ΔW. (4) Most of the work done inside cells is the movement of water and ions, and proteins. And the work of synthesizing biochemical substances (intermediate metabolism). Therefore, ΔW is ion transfer 25 It is estimated that 25% is structural and 50% is biochemical. (5) The heat produced within cells is determined by the organ. This is the same heat produced, and the same heat detected as being released from the body through the skin. Yes. Therefore, ΔQ is the same. (6) Ideally, the device is all done While it can quantify the work done, the V1.0 devices focus on sensors that were mostly commercially available. (7) There are commercially available sensors that can quantify the heat flow and work related to water, The accuracy of device #1 is estimated to be approximately 85% of the total ΔE or energy consumption. Its accuracy is crucial for quantifying and optimizing health, and for detecting and preventing disease before it develops.
