IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: Methods and systems (10) for monitoring vital signs for the prediction and treatment of physiological ailments are provided. The methods and systems (10) may be applied to the monitoring of a broad range of physiological ailments or "episodes," including, but not limited to, asthma, hypoglycemia, coughing, edema, sleep apnea, labor, and REM sleep stages, among others. The methods and systems (10) employ sensors (30, 110, 380), for example, non-contact sensors, adapted to detect vital signs, such as heart rate or respiration rate, to produce signals (50) that can be analyzed for trends, for deviations, or for comparison to prior conditions or criteria. The sensors (30, 110, 380) may be positioned whereby the subject (12) need not be viewed by the health care provider. Some methods and systems employ the use of "scores" based upon the combination of sensed vital signs or based upon a comparison of the vital signs to criteria.
