Claim 9:
10. A system for monitoring a user located in a bed, the system comprising:
a flexible sensing structure configured for placement across the bed and comprising:
an array of capacitive sensors;
an array of temperature sensors; and
a processor configured to:
determine a location of the user with respect to the flexible sensing structure using the array of capacitive sensors;
in a first mode of operation:
select a subset of the array of temperature sensors corresponding to the determined location of the user with respect to the flexible sensing structure; and
determine a temperature of the user using the subset of the array of temperature sensors; and

in a second mode of operation:
select a subset of the array of capacitive sensors based on the determined location of the user; and
determine a physiological parameter of the user using the subset of the array of capacitive sensors.
