Health Assessment System Using Exercise Data to Fill Biometric Gaps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing health assessment systems face challenges in accurately determining a person's health condition due to missing periods of biometric data measurement, which can lead to errors in health condition determination, especially when wearable terminals are not worn continuously.
Innovation Solution
A health assessment system that acquires biometric data from wearable terminals and generates complementary data using exercise information from mobile terminals during missing periods, allowing for continuous health condition assessment and notification reminders to wear the wearable terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If biometric data is measured continuously using a wearable terminal, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to discomfort of wearing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces exercise information from a mobile terminal as an intermediary to bridge the gap during periods when wearable terminal data is missing. This mediator allows the system to maintain continuous health assessment without requiring constant wearable terminal usage, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and ease of operation.
2Reliability
If wearable terminal is worn continuously for biometric data measurement, then reliability of health condition determination is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to periods of non-wearing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from two different sources: biometric measurement data from the wearable terminal and exercise information from the mobile terminal. By combining these complementary data sources, the system maintains reliable health condition determination even when the wearable terminal is not worn continuously, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and ease of operation.
3Device complexity
If biometric data is collected without supplementation during missing periods, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by collecting and storing exercise information from the mobile terminal in advance, which can be used to supplement biometric data during missing periods. This preliminary data collection allows the system to maintain continuous health assessment without increasing the complexity of the wearable terminal itself, thus resolving the contradiction between device complexity and information loss.
Data Source
AI summary
A health assessment system includes a processor that acquires biometric measurement data measured by a wearable terminal worn by a target person, the biometric measurement data being biometric data of the target person; generates complementary biometric data for complementing the biometric measurement data in a missing period in which the acquisition unit is not able to acquire the biometric measurement data from the wearable terminal; and assesses a health condition of the target person based on the biometric measurement data and the complementary biometric data, the processor acquires exercise information, which is information about exercise of the target person, from a mobile terminal carried by the target person, generates the complementary biometric data in the missing period, based on the exercise information of the target person which is obtained from the mobile terminal.
