Adaptive Data

 

We will extract authorised data markers and apply them into formula and algorithms that have been internally tested by (iHEALTH) and or verified by external professional medical institutions, university research departments or clinical trials.

 

(iHEALTH) apply algorithms through artificial intelligence coding logic. This means (iHEALTH) will predict and make health and fitness assumptions about each individual user from the continuous feeds of (authorised) live data.

 

(iHEALTH) software will automatically apply algorithmic assumptions and predictions into the “actionable” function and settings features of it’s app’s, so that each user is set individualised physiological challenge / stimuli / targets/ recovery, i.e. “The workout “Kcal target”, “FatMax training zone” “Kcal.burn/min rate”

 

Actionable function and settings features are intelligently updated in real time without update number restriction, via AI software coding that has been developed with a logic sequence that ensures each user receives safe, and optimally derived actionable requests under the following physiological parameters:

 

·       Fitness Capacity Prediction (estimation of VO2 Max)

·       Max. Heart Rate Estimate

·       Prediction of Body Fat Percentage

·       Prediction of Fat-Ox Threshold
