Fractal analysis linking physical activity patterns, health, and mortality

Detailed Technology Description: Title: Fractal Analysis Linking Physical Activity Patterns, Health and Mortality Invention: This invention is a novel method for linking patterns from accelerometers to health and mortality problems by measuring fractal complexity. Background: Accelerometers are devices that measure proper acceleration and have multiple applications in different industries. Typically, accelerometers are found in devices that monitor and track physical activity for health-related purposes. The clinical utility of the information tracked by these devices is highly under-utilized. This invention uses de-trended fluctuation analysis (DFA) on raw data taken from wearable accelerometers to allow professionals and the public to monitor physiological health and mortality risk. Applications:Accelerometer industryHealth monitoring/trackingBehavioral healthExercise Advantages:Measures fractal complexityPredicts health outcomesNon-invasive biomarkerTracks aging and mortality risk Licensing Manager:Lewis HumphreysLewisH@tla.arizona.edu(520) 626-1213
