We provide you with custom algorithms for monitoring.

Several systems exist on the market which measure physiological data of individuals or teams.  These systems provide large amounts of data. However, the interpretation of these amounts of data is often an issue. BioRICS automates the extraction of useful condition parameters out of these data. The data are analysed and interpreted by means of  algorithms which can be tailor-made to the need of the trainer, coach or manager.

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm is a piece of software that analyses data and extract certain parameters. To give an example, if you measure heart rate with a garment, the data that is logged is a raw ECG signal. Algorithms run on this signal to calculate the heart rate in beats per minute (bpm). A different algorithm will calculate the heart rate recovery.

In other words the raw data can be used to extract information such as heart rate recovery, average heart rate, heart rate zones etc. This information is extracted by running an algorithm on the data. Algorithms can run on all kinds of data, as far as there is an interpretation for certain events. Algorithms can be generic or specific. A generic algorithm is an algorithm that can be used on a whole range of exercise data and individuals. A simple example is heart rate recovery time. Specific algorithms are pieces of software of which the interpretation of the results are context and coach dependent.
