Systems and methods for interactive exercise therapy

Abstract

Safe and effective exercise poses a specific set of challenges for subjects diagnosed with diabetes. These challenges include the coordination of exercise with blood glucose monitoring and insulin administration. Failure to coordinate these factors effectively can lead to various pathologies related to aberrant blood glucose levels. Presented herein are methods, systems, algorithms, computer program products, web portals, real-time live instruction, and computer-executable code for exercise guidance and instruction specific to diabetes relief and management. The systems as disclosed herein can help ameliorate, slow, or reduce a likelihood of developing a diabetic condition.

         91 . A system comprising:
 a media device configured to present:
 a) an instructional exercise electronic communication based on a biometric measurement detected in a subject by a biometric device; and 
 b) a non-exercise health recommendation based on the biometric measurement detected in the subject. 
   
     
     
         92 . The system of  claim 91 , further comprising a processor configured to generate the non-exercise health recommendation based on the biometric measurement detected in the subject, wherein the processor is in communication with the media device. 
     
     
         93 . The system of  claim 92 , further comprising a receiver configured to receive the biometric measurement detected in the subject, wherein the receiver is in communication with the media device. 
     
     
         94 . The system of  claim 93 , wherein the media device, the processor, and the receiver are in a common housing. 
     
     
         95 . The system of  claim 93 , wherein the media device, the processor, the receiver, and the biometric device are in a common housing. 
     
     
         96 . The system of  claim 91 , wherein the biometric device is:
 a) in communication with the media device;   b) configured to detect the biometric measurement in the subject; and   c) configured to transmit to the media device a reading of the biometric measurement detected in the subject.   
     
     
         97 . The system of  claim 91 , wherein the biometric device is a glucose monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the subject is a blood glucose level. 
     
     
         98 . The system of  claim 91 , wherein the biometric device is a heart rate monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the subject is a heart rate. 
     
     
         99 . A method comprising:
 a) receiving by a user from a media device an instructional exercise electronic communication;   b) performing by the user an exercise provided by the instructional exercise electronic communication; and   c) receiving by the user from the media device a non-exercise health recommendation based on a biometric measurement detected in a user by a biometric device.   
     
     
         100 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the non-exercise health recommendation is received when the biometric measurement detected in the user is determined to be unsafe. 
     
     
         101 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the biometric device is a glucose monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a blood glucose level. 
     
     
         102 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the biometric device is a heart rate monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a heart rate. 
     
     
         103 . The method of  claim 102 , wherein the non-exercise health recommendation is received when the heart rate detected in the user is determined to be in a zone from 40% to 100% of a maximum heart rate in the user. 
     
     
         104 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the non-exercise health recommendation is received during the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         105 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the non-exercise health recommendation is received before the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         106 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the non-exercise health recommendation is received after the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         107 . The method of  claim 99 , wherein the user is diabetic. 
     
     
         108 . A method comprising:
 a) presenting by a media device to a subject an instructional exercise electronic communication that provides instruction for physical exercise based on a biometric measurement detected in the subject by a biometric device; and   b) presenting by the media device to the subject an non-exercise health recommendation based on the biometric measurement detected in the subject.   
     
     
         109 . The method of  claim 108 , further comprising detecting by the biometric device the biometric measurement in the subject. 
     
     
         110 . The method of  claim 108 , wherein the detecting of the biometric measurement in the subject is during a state of physical exercise.
