Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining performance capacity. One such system includes a wearable device having a biosensor that measures biometrics and a motion sensor that monitors activity. The system also includes a processor coupled to the biosensor and the motion sensor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to execute specific functions. The instructions are executed to cause the processor to generate biometric data from the biometrics and activity data from the activity. Further, the instructions are executed to create a response profile based on one or more of a heart rate variability (HRV) score based on the biometric data, a fatigue score based on the activity data, a predicted HRV score based on the biometric and activity data, and a predicted fatigue score based on the biometric data and/or the activity data.

Abstract: A system, method, and device for monitoring a cardiac signal of a user includes an emitter (LED) for transmitting light toward skin of the user, a receiver (photodiode) for receiving a reflection of the transmitted light and generating a light intensity signal, and a processor configured to generate a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal based on the light intensity signal. The PPG signal includes a cardiac component, a motion component and a respiratory component. An inertial sensor provides a motion signal to the processor based on sensed movement of the device and one or more time-variant filters are configured by the processor to filter the PPG signal to isolate the cardiac component of the PPG signal based on determined filter coefficients.

Abstract: An LED (light-emitting diode) driver for a photoplethysmography system, including a switched-mode operational amplifier for driving a driver transistor with a source-drain path in series with the LED. In a first clock phase in which the LED is disconnected from the driver transistor, the amplifier is coupled in unity gain mode, and a sampling capacitor stores a voltage corresponding to the offset and flicker noise of the amplifier; the gate of the driver transistor is precharged to a reference voltage in this first clock phase. In a second clock phase, the sampled voltage at the capacitor is subtracted from the reference voltage applied to the amplifier input, so that the LED drive is adjusted according to the sampled noise. A signal from the transmitter channel is forwarded to a noise/ripple remover in the receiving channel, to remove transmitter noise from the received signal.

Abstract: Biometric monitoring devices, including various technologies that may be implemented in such devices, are discussed herein. Additionally, techniques for enhancing GPS speed and distance measurements based on step counts measured by a biometric monitoring device are provided. Such techniques may, in some implementations, involve blending two independently-measured data streams of raw distance traveled—one based on inter-coordinate GPS coordinate distances and one based on step count and stride length—using a Kalman filter to provide an enhanced-accuracy measurement of distance or speed traveled. In some other or additional implementations, distances or speeds calculated based on inter-coordinate GPS coordinate distances may be smoothed with a smoothing constant that is proportional to the variance in measured step count.

Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a method and apparatus for measuring a tissue variation signal (e.g. a photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal) without large direct current (DC) or low frequency (LF) offset which normally limit the sensor accuracy through motion artefacts and/or dynamic range requirements. The proposed solution is based on a separation of the PPG signal from the disturbance. This can be achieved by creation of a modulated PPG signal, or by creation of a differential PPG signal and an optimized sensor configuration which is adapted to remove DC or LF components.

Abstract: Earphones with biometric sensors are disclosed. In addition to wirelessly receiving audio data for playback, the disclosed earphones collect the user's biometric data such as heartrate data and movement data, and wirelessly transmit the biometric data to a computing device for processing and user-interaction using an activity tracking application. The biometric earphones may include a battery; a circuit board electrically coupled to the battery; a processor electrically coupled to the circuit board; a pair of earphones; a controller; and a cable electrically coupling the earphones to the controller. One of the earphones includes an optical heartrate sensor electrically coupled to the processor, and protruding from a side of the earphone proximal to an interior side of a user's ear when the earphone is worn; and a motion sensor electrically coupled to the processor. The processor processes electronic input signals from the motion sensor and the optical heartrate sensor.
