Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring a subject, comprising: monitoring a subject in a resting state using a monitoring system operationally coupled to one or more range-controlled radars, wherein the range-controlled radars are configured to constrain one or more signals to a designated space where the subject is resting; non-invasively detecting one or more motion parameters, one or more physiological parameters, or combinations thereof, corresponding to the subject using the one or more signals received from the range-controlled radars, wherein the motion parameters comprise one or more activity levels and the physiological parameters comprise one or more of heartbeat and respiration; determining one or more patterns in the motion parameters detected over a designated motion period of time using the monitoring system; assigning one or more weighted values to one or more actual values corresponding to the physiological parameters if physiological parameters are detected in presence of motion parameters over a designated physiological period of time using the monitoring system; determining one or more patterns in the weighted values corresponding to the physiological parameters if the physiological parameters are detected in presence of the motion parameters using the monitoring system; determining one or more patterns in the actual values corresponding to the physiological parameters if the physiological parameters are detected in absence of the motion parameters using the monitoring system; and assessing a health condition of the subject based on the determined patterns in the motion parameters, the determined patterns in the weighted values corresponding to the physiological parameters, the determined patterns in the actual values corresponding to the physiological parameters, or combinations thereof.
