Systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating individual performance

Abstract

Systems, devices and methods for monitoring and evaluating cognitive effectiveness are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a system of r monitoring cognitive effectiveness can include a central network communicatively couple with a local computing device, which can in turn be communicatively coupled with a portable monitoring device. The portable monitoring device can be located in proximity with a subject and configured to collect data from the subject usable in determining a cognitive effectiveness level. Adaptive methods for determining cognitive performance are also provided.

1 . A method of monitoring individual performance, comprising:
 measuring an objective data parameter corresponding to a first aspect of a subject;   collecting a subjective data parameter corresponding to a second aspect of the subject by way of a user interface; and   determining a cognitive effectiveness level of the subject based at least on the objective and subjective data parameters;   wherein the subjective data parameter is a data parameter representative of a subject's manual indication of a subjective mental state, the subjective mental state including a wake state.   
   
   
       2 . A method of monitoring individual performance using an algorithm for determining cognitive effectiveness, comprising:
 measuring at least one objective data parameter corresponding to at least a first aspect of a subject;   collecting at least one subjective data parameter corresponding to at least a second aspect of the subject by way of at least one user interface; and   adapting the algorithm for the subject based on at least on the objective data parameter and the at least one subjective data parameter for the subject.
