Patent ID: 7485095

Claim:
A method for registering at least one of electrocardiographic (EGG), magnetocardiographic (MCG), mechanocardiographic, ballistocardiographic data, physical activity, body position, respiration, temperature, blood pressure, vasomotor activity, physiological, and health data, extracting and representing the most significant parameters from series of said data, said method comprising: collecting said data from at least one fiducial point in a physiological cycle over a period of at least several seconds; analyzing said data in low-level-of-detail to extract significant features from monitored signals and compare said features with reference values, said low-level-of-detail analysis applied locally, close to the point of data acquisition; and analyzing said data in a higher-level-of-detail to identify at least one of short-term and long-term trends of changes in said significant features using at least one method selected from mathematical decomposition, mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence.
