SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HOT FLASHES BASED ON HEART RATE PATTERNS

摘要

A method of detecting the occurrence of a hot flash in an individual including obtaining heart rate sequence data for the individual for a predetermined period of time, wherein the heart rate sequence data is based on heartbeat data of the individual that is detected by a sensor unit worn by the individual, providing the heart rate sequence data to a computational model component, wherein the computational model component is structured and configured to examine the heart rate sequence data over time to determine a probability that the individual is experiencing a hot flash based on monitoring the heart rate sequence data for a pattern wherein heart rate decreases below a baseline range and then increases above the baseline range, and analyzing the heart rate sequence data in the computational model component to determine the probability.
