Claim Text:
1. A method for real-time monitoring of a subject using a monitoring apparatus, wherein the monitoring apparatus includes a plurality of physiological sensors, a memory and a processor, the method comprising: the plurality of physiological sensors obtaining sensor data from the subject, said sensor data including anatomical data indicative of changes in a cross-sectional area of the subject's torso over time, the processor determining a physiological parameter for the subject as a function of said anatomical data; the processor accessing a library of subject data stored in the memory of said monitoring apparatus, the subject data including a plurality of baseline physiological parameters, the baseline physiological parameters including at least one of baseline cardiac rate, baseline cardiac stroke volume, baseline respiration rate, baseline respiration tidal volume and baseline minute ventilation; the processor comparing said physiological parameter for the subject to said library of subject data; the processor determining a physiological state of the subject as a function of said physiological sensor data, said physiological parameter, and said library of subject data, the determination of physiological state includes an indication of whether said physiological parameter of the subject is within a target range, the processor determining a reason for the physiological state for the subject such that the processor adjusts processing of the data to more frequently sample and process data from pertinent sensors based on the reason for the determined physiological state; the monitoring apparatus wirelessly transmitting said physiological state to a selected external monitoring display unit so as to provide a message to inquire a response from an individual monitoring the external monitoring display unit; and displaying said physiological state and said message at said selected external monitoring display unit.
