A medical monitoring system based on sound analysis in a medical environment, the system comprising: a sound level analyzer (SLA, 10), the sound-level analyzer being arranged for receiving an audio signal indicative of sound near a patient, the sound-level analyzer being capable of providing an indicator for perceived levels of sound from a number of sound events, and a data storage modality (DSM, 20), the data storage modality being arranged for receiving and storing said indicator for perceived levels of sound from the number of sound events from the sound level analyzer, and receiving and storing corresponding information from an associated patient monitoring system (PMS, 60) handling information indicative of a physical and/or mental condition of a patient under influence by sound, and a sound event analyzer (SEA, 30), the sound event analyzer being arranged for receiving from the data storage modality said indicator for perceived levels of sound from the number of sound events, and corresponding information from the associated patient monitoring system, the sound event analyzer further being arranged for performing, within a defined time window, an overall sound analysis (ANA, 50) related to physical and/or mental condition of the patient to evaluate the influence of noise, and characterized in that the system further comprises: a sound scene analyzer for cooperating with the sound level analyzer, the sound scene analyzer being arranged for receiving said audio signal indicative of sound near a patient in the medical environment and being arranged for analyzing and classifying the audio signal so as to obtain a list of one, or more, sound sources in the medical environment surrounding the patient; wherein the classifying of said one, or more, sound sources is applied in the overall sound analysis (ANA, 50) to identify possible sources of negative influence on the rest and/or sleep of said patient. a sound level analyzer (SLA, 10), the sound-level analyzer being arranged for receiving an audio signal indicative of sound near a patient, the sound-level analyzer being capable of providing an indicator for perceived levels of sound from a number of sound events, and a data storage modality (DSM, 20), the data storage modality being arranged for receiving and storing said indicator for perceived levels of sound from the number of sound events from the sound level analyzer, and receiving and storing corresponding information from an associated patient monitoring system (PMS, 60) handling information indicative of a physical and/or mental condition of a patient under influence by sound, and a sound event analyzer (SEA, 30), the sound event analyzer being arranged for receiving from the data storage modality said indicator for perceived levels of sound from the number of sound events, and corresponding information from the associated patient monitoring system, the sound event analyzer further being arranged for performing, within a defined time window, an overall sound analysis (ANA, 50) related to physical and/or mental condition of the patient to evaluate the influence of noise, and characterized in that the system further comprises: a sound scene analyzer for cooperating with the sound level analyzer, the sound scene analyzer being arranged for receiving said audio signal indicative of sound near a patient in the medical environment and being arranged for analyzing and classifying the audio signal so as to obtain a list of one, or more, sound sources in the medical environment surrounding the patient; wherein the classifying of said one, or more, sound sources is applied in the overall sound analysis (ANA, 50) to identify possible sources of negative influence on the rest and/or sleep of said patient. a sound scene analyzer for cooperating with the sound level analyzer, the sound scene analyzer being arranged for receiving said audio signal indicative of sound near a patient in the medical environment and being arranged for analyzing and classifying the audio signal so as to obtain a list of one, or more, sound sources in the medical environment surrounding the patient; wherein the classifying of said one, or more, sound sources is applied in the overall sound analysis (ANA, 50) to identify possible sources of negative influence on the rest and/or sleep of said patient.
