A method includes collecting a set of user information, determining a user current performance by: determining a sleep score or debt, measuring the user's previous physical activity, heart rate, or body temperature, calculating weights for the sleep score and the sleep debt, the measured previous physical activity, heart rate, or body temperature, calculating a weighted sum of the weighted sleep score, the weighted sleep debt, the weighted user's previous physical activity, weighted heart rate, or weighted body temperature, setting a user target level of performance, measuring a circadian rhythm and a user's duration of sleep or sleep cycle, comparing the circadian rhythm, the duration of sleep or sleep cycle, the current performance level, and current time zone information over days to determine a separate user performance level, comparing the target level of performance to the separate user performance level, and providing an alert and feedback user related to the comparison.

The present disclosure introduces a method for providing substantially optimal training instructions to a user based on temperature measurements performed by a wearable device. The algorithm determines non-REM sleep phases of the user, measures the maximum temperature of the NREM sleep phase or an averaged value among the maximum values of several NREM sleep phases in a night, and it determines most appropriate training instructions for the user based on that temperature information. Gender and age may also have an effect in the training instruction determinations. Training information and alerts can be given via a smartphone application to the user.

Method for optimizing training based on body temperature variations

A method and system for supplemental sleep detection is described. A system may receive data associated with a user from a wearable device worn by the user, and may detect a primary sleep period for the user based on the received data. The system may additionally detect a supplemental sleep period including a duration that exceeds a threshold duration based on the received data. In some implementations, the system may cause a graphical user interface (GUI) of a user device to display an indication of the detected supplemental sleep period, and may receive a confirmation of the supplemental sleep period via the user device and in response to the indication of the detected supplemental sleep period. The system may subsequently generate one or more insights associated with the user based on the primary sleep period and the supplemental sleep period and, in some implementations, in response to the confirmation.

Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring photoplethysmogram. The apparatus includes a ring structure with at least one photon source and at least one photon detector positioned on an inner surface of the ring structure. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to measure a preliminary photoplethysmogram during a first time period by taking a first number of samples, determine a form factor from said preliminary photoplethysmogram, determine an inter beat interval from said preliminary photoplethysmogram, and use the form factor and the inter beat interval to determine a second number of samples to be taken during a second time period of measurement of the photoplethysmogram and the distribution of the samples to be taken in function of time.

A method and a system for providing feedback to a user for adjusting sleep pattern of the user. The method includes collecting a set of information related to the user, receiving a set of measurement data related to the user from a wearable electronic device, defining circadian rhythm and duration of sleep of the user, determining sleep scores for a predefined number of days and associating each sleep score with a corresponding go-to-bed time or time of falling asleep of the user. A sleep score is determined for each of the predefined number of days from the collected set of information, the set of measurement data, the circadian rhythm and the duration of sleep of the user. The method further includes analysing the sleep scores and associated go-to-bed time or time of falling asleep of the user to determine an optimum bedtime window for the user and providing feedback to the user based on the analysed sleep scores and the optimum bedtime window.

The present invention discusses a system and method for defining an optimal wakeup time with an alarm, which method takes into consideration at least two persons. Sleep monitoring devices, such as health rings or bed sensors, measure parameters of the sleepers, and a server determines sleeping phases from the measurement results. In that regard, skin temperature, heart rate and amount of motion can be tracked with the ring. The analysis combines at least two persons and sets rules so that no-one is preferably woken from a deep sleep phase. The determined alarm time is a given time period before the final alarm deadline. An optimal alarm time is calculated in the server, and the alarm is triggered in a mobile device, through the wearable ring, or by another alarming device or means.

A method, apparatus, and a computer program for monitoring a fitness exercise are described. A plurality of heart-rate variability values and a plurality of exertion parameter values are measured during an exercise measured. The heart rate variability values correlate with the exertion parameter values through a human physiological mechanism, and the exertion parameter values characterize the physical exertion of the exercise. A mathematical correspondence is then constructed from the plurality of measured heart rate variability values and associated exertion parameter values. The mathematical correspondence describes correlation between the heart rate variability values and the exertion parameter values and the user's physiological state during the exercise. Then, the physical exertion of the exercise is monitored by applying the mathematical correspondence.
