Abstract
A method for monitoring a vehicle passenger involves determining a current vital parameter value of at least one vital parameter of the vehicle passenger and, if necessary, a current environmental parameter value of at least one environmental parameter of an outer environmental of the vehicle. Depending upon the determined values, assistance can be provided to the vehicle passenger.
Claims10
A method for monitoring at least one vehicle passenger in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, by a first sensor unit, a current vital parameter value of at least one vital parameter of the vehicle passenger;
- detecting, by a second sensor unit, a current environmental parameter value of at least one environmental parameter of an outer environment of the vehicle;
- storing the current vital parameter value of the vehicle passenger together with the current environmental parameter value;
- identifying the vehicle passenger;
- comparing the current vital parameter value of the vehicle passenger with at least one older, previously stored vital parameter value of the same vehicle passenger,
- wherein the older vital parameter value is previously stored together with an older environmental parameter value, which corresponds to the current environmental parameter value;
- and
- determining a health condition of the vehicle passenger by the comparing.
5 more elements
A device to monitor at least one vehicle passenger in a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one vital parameter sensor unit configured to determine a current vital parameter value of at least one vital parameter of the vehicle passenger;
- at least one environmental parameter sensor unit configured to determine at least one current environmental parameters value of at least on environmental parameter of an outer environmental of the vehicle;
- a storage unit that is configured to store
- an identification of the vehicle passenger along with the current vital parameter value of the vehicle passenger and the at least one environmental parameter value, and
- at least one older vital parameter value of the vehicle passenger along with an older environmental parameter value, which corresponds to the current environmental parameter value,
- an evaluation unit configured to compare the current vital parameter value with the at least one older vital parameter value of the vehicle passenger to determine a health condition of the vehicle passenger.
