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.

         23 . A method comprising:
 a) reviewing by a user an instructional exercise electronic communication from a media device;   b) performing by the user an exercise suggested by the instructional exercise electronic communication; and   c) receiving by the user from the media device an advertisement electronic communication that provides an advertisement based on a biometric measurement detected in the user by a biometric device.   
     
     
         24 . A method comprising:
 a) performing by a user an exercise;   b) receiving by the user from a media device an instructional exercise electronic communication based on a biometric measurement detected in the user by a biometric device; and   c) receiving by the user from the media device an advertisement electronic communication that provides an advertisement based on the biometric measurement detected in the user by the biometric device.   
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received when the biometric measurement detected in the user is unsafe. 
     
     
         26 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the biometric device is a glucose monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a blood glucose level. 
     
     
         27 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the biometric device is a heart rate monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a heart rate. 
     
     
         28 . The method of  claim 27 , wherein the advertisement is provided 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. 
     
     
         29 . The method of  claim 23 , further comprising selecting by the user on the media device the received advertisement electronic communication. 
     
     
         30 . (canceled) 
     
     
         31 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received during the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         32 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received before the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         33 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received after the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the user is diabetic. 
     
     
         35 - 107 . (canceled) 
     
     
         108 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received when the biometric measurement detected in the user is unsafe. 
     
     
         109 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the biometric device is a glucose monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a blood glucose level. 
     
     
         110 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the biometric device is a heart rate monitoring device and the biometric measurement detected in the user is a heart rate. 
     
     
         111 . The method of  claim 110 , wherein the advertisement is provided 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. 
     
     
         112 . The method of  claim 24 , further comprising selecting by the user on the media device the received advertisement electronic communication. 
     
     
         113 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received during the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         114 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received before the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         115 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the advertisement electronic communication is received after the performing of the exercise by the user. 
     
     
         116 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the user is diabetic. 
     
     
         117 . The method of  claim 23 , wherein the detecting of the biometric measurement in the user is during a state of physical exercise. 
     
     
         118 . The method of  claim 24 , wherein the detecting of the biometric measurement in the user is during a state of physical exercise.
