Adaptive AI Spiroergometry - Individualized exercise protocol method
Ref.-No. 6647
Keywords: Adaptive excercise control, personalized diagnostics, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), cardiopulmonary performance diagnostics, precision diagnostics
Spiroergometry has established itself as the gold standard for assessing cardiopulmonary performance in clinics, rehabilitation, and sports medicine. At the same time, the market for AI-supported, personalized medial technology is growing dynamically, while existing systems are usually based on standardized, static exercise protocols that have a limited ability to account for individual differences and require manual adjustment. This limits precision, efficiency, and scalability.
The invention addresses this gap with an AI-based, automated, adaptive method for spiroergometry management. Machine learning models use patient data, vital signs, and exercise data to calculate optimal target performance in real time; the data can then be used for direct cardio device control. This provides smart, patient-specific exercise management, enhancing safety and diagnostic validity and giving manufacturers clear technological differentiation.
Competitive Advantages
- Individualized exercise protocols
- More precise VO2 max determination
- Enhanced patient safety
- Fewer manual interventions
Commercial Opportunities
The invention has great commercial potential, since it provides existing spiroergometry systems with an AI-based, adaptive management system and thus clear differentiation in the medical technology market. The technology can be marketed as both an integrated system solution and a software module. Potential areas of application include:
- Integration into new generations of spiroergometry and cardio equipment
- Software add-on or license model for existing equipment platforms
- Can be used for personalized exercise management in clinics, rehabilitation, and sports medicine
- Can be used in specialized applications such as for chronic or neurological disorders
Current Status
A German patent application has been submitted to the German Patent and Trade Mark Office. A European patent (EP) has also been applied for in the context of a comprehensive protection strategy for the European market. We are offering interested companies the opportunity to license and refine the technology in collaboration with the Technical University of Dortmund.
