Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for gathering and generating heart rate data to determine the user's current physical condition. On such system include a wearable device having a bio sensor that measures biometrics and a motion sensor that monitors activity. The system also includes a processor coupled to the bio sensor and the motion sensor, and a 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 when executed, cause the processor to execute specific functions. The instructions are executed to cause the processor to generate heart rate data from the biometrics measured by the bio sensor, generate motion data from the activity monitored by the motion sensor, calculate heart rate variability (HRV) data from the biometrics measured by the bio sensor, and determine the current state of the user's physical condition based on the correlation of one or more of the heart rate data, motion data, and calculated HRV data gathered.
