Claim 12:
13. A system for automated monitoring of a person's position, comprising:
a wearable sensor device including at least one sensor configured to generate sensor data regarding an orientation of the person;
memory storing a defined minimum orientation change threshold;
at least one processor configured to:
monitor the orientation of the person over time based on the sensor data generated by the at least one sensor of the wearable sensor device;
determine a first orientation of the person based on the monitored orientation of the person;
increase an accumulated time counter associated with the first orientation;
determine an orientation change of the person based on the monitored orientation of the person;
determine a magnitude of the orientation change;
determine a depressurization rate as a function of the magnitude of the orientation change;
decrease the accumulated time counter based on the determined depressurization rate; and
generate a notification based on the accumulated time counter.
