System for monitoring and presenting health, wellness and fitness trend data having user selectable parameters

Abstract

A nutrition and activity management system is disclosed that monitors energy expenditure of an individual through the use of a body-mounted sensing apparatus. The apparatus is particularly adapted for continuous wear. The system is also adaptable or applicable to measuring a number of other physiological parameters and reporting the same and derivations of such parameters. A weight management embodiment is directed to achieving an optimum or preselected energy balance between calories consumed and energy expended by the user. An adaptable computerized nutritional tracking system is utilized to obtain data regarding food consumed, Relevant and predictive feedback is provided to the user regarding the mutual effect of the user's energy expenditure, food consumption and other measured or derived or manually input physiological contextual parameters upon progress toward said goal.

         283 . The system of  claim 281 , wherein said at least one of said one or more indicators relates to activity level and the value of said parameter further comprises calories burned. 
     
     
         284 . The system of  claim 279 , wherein at least one of said display device and said processor is mounted on said wearable computing device. 
     
     
         285 . The system of  claim 279 , wherein said processor generates at least one of a contemporaneous visible, audible or tactile indication of a preselected condition. 
     
     
         286 . The system of  claim 285 , wherein said contemporaneous indication is generated based upon the contemporaneous value of at least one of said detected data and said at least one of said one or more indicators. 
     
     
         287 . The system of  claim 279 , wherein said processor generates a graphical indication of progress toward said initial goal. 
     
     
         288 . The system of  claim 287 , wherein said graphical indication of said progress is displayed in combination with said one or more indicators on said display device. 
     
     
         289 . The system of  claim 288 , wherein said processor detects a condition indicative of failing to meet said initial goals, based upon said detected data. 
     
     
         290 . The system of  claim 289 , wherein said processor generates a suggestion to improve said progress with respect to said initial goal. 
     
     
         291 . The system of  claim 290 , wherein said processor generates said suggestion based upon said historical data and prior ones of said suggestions with respect to said initial goal.
