`Accused Systems for measuring one or more physiological parameters and for use with a smart phone or
`use with a smart
`tablet, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.

`
`For example, Whoop provides a system including WHOOP 4.0, which measures physiological
`system comprising:
`parameters of a user, such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, temperature, and respiratory rate. WHOOP
`4.0 connects to an Accused Phone/Tablet via Bluetooth to sync data corresponding to measured
`physiological parameters. After downloading the Whoop App on an Accused Phone/Tablet and completing
`the initial Bluetooth pairing, WHOOP 4.0 transfers measured health data to the app whenever in range to the
`Accused Phone/Tablet. The app processes and analyzes the measured physiological parameters and provides
`insights into the user’s health and wellness.
`
`Whoop further offers and sells a membership-based service along with the Accused Wearable Device,
`where users pay a subscription fee for access to the Whoop App, data analysis, and health and wellness
`insights. The membership provides access to Whoop’s platform; a user must purchase the add-on Whoop
`membership in addition to an Accused Wearable Device to access all of the health features of the Accused
`Wearable Device.
`
`
`
`1 The Accused System includes a Whoop wearable device, such as WHOOP 1.0, WHOOP 2.0, WHOOP 3.0, and WHOOP 4.0 (each an
`“Accused Wearable Device”); a smartphone or tablet (an “Accused Phone/Tablet”), and a cloud (an “Accused Cloud”), which
`collectively provide a system for measuring one or more physiological parameters of a user. Smart phones and tablets from various
`manufacturers, such as Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus, and clouds provided by others, such as Strava and dbt Labs, may also be used as
`part of the Accused System. WHOOP 4.0 and various smart phones are charted here as representative of the Accused System and should
`not be understood to be limiting. The citations to evidence contained within this chart are illustrative and should not be understood to
`be limiting. Plaintiff expressly reserves the right to rely upon additional or different evidence, or to rely on additional citations to the
`evidence already cited herein.

`The product data sheet for MAX86171, shown below, states that MAX86171 includes nine LED driver
`outputs to support WHOOP 4.0’s multiple LEDs. The LEDs each include a lens that receives output
`optical light from the LED and delivers the light to the skin (and underlying tissue) on the user’s wrist
`(e.g., flat lens). WHOOP 4.0 further includes a material covering the array of LEDs (e.g., epoxy lens, flat
`lens), which is a lens that receives output optical light from the LED and delivers the light to the skin.
`WHOOP 4.0 further includes yet another material covering the array of LEDs and photodetectors, which is
`a lens that receives output optical light from the LED and delivers the light to the skin.

`
`For example, the integrated AFE optical sensor module (“detection system”) is connected to the light
`synchronized to the
`source containing multiple LEDs. It is configured to synchronize with the light source by controlling the
`light source;
`LED current and pulse rate using LED drivers. To measure heart rate, for example, green LEDs are used
`with a pre-determined intensity and pulse rate. Different LEDs are used to measure other parameters, such
`as blood oxygen levels. Green LEDs (“light source”) blink when measuring heart rate, and alternately, red
`and infrared LEDs (“light source”) emit light when measuring blood oxygen levels. This, among other
`evidence below, shows that the AFE optical sensor module (“detection system”) is synchronized with the
`light source.
`
`The optical sensor in the Accused Wearable Device features a biosensing AFE manufactured by Analog
`Devices (e.g., MAX86171). That AFE optical sensor module (“detection system”) is configured to be
`synchronized to the LEDs in the Accused Wearable Device (e.g., using oscillator and timing and control
`elements).
