Abstract
A wearable heart rate monitoring device includes an optical sensor configured to translate test light reflected from a wearer of the wearable heart rate monitoring device into a machine-readable heart rate signal. The wearable heart rate monitoring device also includes a motion sensor configured to translate motion of the wearable heart rate monitoring device into a machine-readable motion signal. The wearable heart rate monitoring device also includes a heart rate reporting machine, configured to determine a type of activity currently being performed by the wearer of the wearable heart rate monitoring device based at least in part on the machine-readable motion signal, and output an estimated heart rate based on at least the machine-readable heart rate signal and the type of activity.
