    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for estimating caloric expenditure using a heart rate model specific to a motion class. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining acceleration and rotation rate from motion sensors of a wearable device; determining a vertical component of inertial acceleration and a vertical component of rotational acceleration from the acceleration and rotation rate, respectively; determining a magnitude of the rotation rate; determining a correlation between the inertial vertical acceleration component and rotational acceleration; determining a percentage of motion outside a dominant plane of motion; predicting a motion class based on a motion classification model that takes as input the motions, correlation and percentage; determining a likelihood the user is walking; in accordance with determining that the user is likely not walking, configuring a heart rate model based on the predicted motion class; and estimating, using the configured heart rate model, a caloric expenditure of the user.

    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for estimating caloric expenditure based on center of mass motion and heart rate. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining acceleration and rotation rate of a wearable device worn on a limb of a user; transforming the acceleration and rotation rate into an inertial frame; determining a vertical component of acceleration, rotation rate magnitude and vertical component of rotational acceleration due to limb rotation; determining a work rate (WR) based caloric expenditure based on the vertical component of acceleration, rotation rate magnitude and a correlation coefficient that measures a correlation between the vertical component of acceleration and the vertical component of rotational acceleration; obtaining heart rate (HR) data from a heart rate sensor of the wearable device; determining an HR based caloric expenditure based on the HR data; and fusing, the WR based caloric expenditure with the HR based caloric expenditure to get a fused caloric expenditure.
