Abstract:
A system for monitoring the movements or other activities of patient. Aspects include a monitoring device with one or more sensors such as a pressure or motion sensors that may be positioned on or near a patient. Alerts may be generated by the monitoring device if the sensor readings fall outside predetermined limits set in a patient profile specific to a particular patient. Sensor readings and/or alerts may be sent by the monitoring device to the central server which may notify nearby caregivers that a patient needs assistance. The server may be configured to analyze sensor readings and alert information to refine patient profiles to reduce or eliminate false alarms.

Claim (Index 30):
A method of detecting when a patient is about to stand up, comprising:\n detecting movement of the patient using one or more movement sensors in a monitoring device on a sock worn on the patient's foot, and at least one pressure sensor having conductive threads woven into the sock; activating the monitoring device to process movement detected by the one or more movement sensors, and pressure changes detected by the at least one pressure sensor, when the movement detected exceeds a predetermined activation threshold; using the monitoring device to obtain data values representing pressure and movement; processing the data to combine the pressure and movement data into a combined triggering value; comparing the combined triggering value to one or more predetermined alert thresholds that determine if the patient is moving, or is about to move, to an erect standing position; communicating an alert message to a caregiver when the processing output exceeds the predetermined alert thresholds; and deactivating the monitoring device to stop processing input from the gyroscope sensor and the pressure sensor when the acceleration measured by the accelerometer has remained less than or equal to the activation threshold for greater than a predetermined activation timeout.
