Claim 0:
1. A system (102) for assisting a patient to raise an alarm, the system (102) comprising:
a sensor (106) configured to be positioned at a head region of the patient, wherein the sensor (106) is configured to detect movement of head of the patient; and
a patient assisting device (104) coupled to the sensor (106), the patient assisting device (104) comprising:
a processor (110); and
a memory (112) communicatively coupled to the processor (110), wherein the memory (112) stores a plurality of instructions, which upon execution by the processor (110), cause the processor (110) to:
categorize state of alarm values into one of a plurality of categories of state of alarm values, wherein the categorizing comprises:
receiving a sensitivity setting;
comparing the determined state of alarm value with a plurality of threshold values associated with the sensitivity setting, wherein each of the plurality of threshold values corresponds to a category of the plurality of categories of state of alarm values; and
categorizing the determined state of alarm value into one of the plurality of categories of state of alarm values based on the comparison;

receive, from the sensor (106), a signal corresponding to the movement of the head of the patient;
determine a state of alarm value from the signal; and
generate an alarm based on the state of alarm value.
