Abstract:
A monitoring system and method tracks a patient's position over time and ensures that proper turning or other manipulation is done within the time prescribed. Preferably, the techniques herein continuously monitor patient position and alert medical or other personnel of the need for turning or other patient manipulation. The system may be implemented within a medical or other care facility, or within a patient's home.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for automated monitoring of a person's position using a wearable sensor device secured to the person or to an article worn by the person, the method comprising:\n generating, by at least one sensor provided in the wearable sensor device, sensor data representative of an orientation of the person; determining, by a processor, the orientation of the person over time based on the sensor data generated by the at least one sensor; identifying, by the processor, based on the monitored orientation of the person over time, a series of pressure-on periods separated by pressure-off periods, each pressure-on period comprising a period during which the person is in the particular position, and each pressure-off period comprising a period during which the person is out of the particular position; managing, by the processor, an accumulated time counter indicating at least an accumulated amount of time spent by the person in the particular position during at least two sequential pressure-on periods separated by respective pressure-off periods; and generating, by the processor, a visual or audible notification based on a value of the accumulated time counter.
