Patent ID: 7407484

Claim:
A system for non-invasive monitoring of a human subject, comprising: (a) a peripheral device configured for physical contact with said human subject, said peripheral device being a user input device configured to allow said human subject to regularly interact with an autonomous computational device; (b) a sensor contained within said peripheral device, said sensor being configured for sensing said human subject and for automatically collecting data about a physiological parameter of said human subject without interfering with an action of said human subject, said action being performed during said interaction between human subject and said autonomous computational device; wherein said autonomous computational device is configured for being controlled by said peripheral device and for receiving said data from said sensor for monitoring said human subject; and said autonomous computational device comprises an agent software configured for being operated by said autonomous computational device and for analyzing said data from said sensor, wherein said agent software is configured to determine whether a physiological parameter of said human subject has deteriorated according to an analysis of said data, and wherein said agent software is configured to provide an alert message to said human subject if said physiological parameter has deteriorated.
