Title:
METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING WITHIN-DAY ENERGY BALANCE DEVIATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005013177
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring within-day energy balance deviation. One aspect of the invention includes a method for automatically determining an energy balance deviation associated with a person that includes providing a device capable of being worn by or accompanying the person, the device adapted to receive information related to the person's energy expenditure, energy intake, and to display energy balance information. The method also includes receiving at least one input associated with energy expenditure of a person, receiving at least one input associated with energy intake of the person, and calculating an energy balance function based in part on the energy expenditure and the energy intake over a period of time. Furthermore, the method includes designating at least one boundary for comparison to said energy balance function, and displaying information corresponding to said energy balance function and said at least one boundary.
