Abstract
A monitoring system a user activity sensor to determine patterns of activity based upon the user activity occurring over time.
Claims13
A method for monitoring the cardiac function of a person comprising:
- receiving, at an internet accessible computer server, data gathered during a monitoring period by a cardiac monitor,
- wherein the cardiac monitor is wearable on the person,
- wherein the cardiac monitor is coupled to a base station via a mesh network,
- wherein the mesh network conforms to IEEE standard 802.15.4;
- wherein the data corresponds to cardiac activity of the person;
- wherein the base station communicates the data to the computer server;
- analyzing the data, by the computer server, to generate a statistical report, and
- transmitting, by the computer server, the statistical report to a healthcare provider.

A mesh network for monitoring the health and well-being of a person comprising:
- a plurality of biometric sensors for placement on or proximate to the person,
- wherein the biometric sensors are connected to the mesh network,
- wherein the biometric sensors provide data about the health of the person;
- and
- a plurality of environmental sensors connected to the mesh network, wherein the environmental sensors monitor the person's activities
- wherein the mesh network conforms to IEEE standard 802.15.4;
- wherein each sensor is coupled to one or more software modules that analyze the data from sensors and detects potentially dangerous conditions,
- wherein the potentially dangerous conditions comprise at least one of the following:
- i) abnormal cardiac activity of the person;
- ii) abnormal blood pressure of the person;
- iii) abnormal respiratory function of the person;
- iv) symptoms that the person is having a stroke;
- v) signs that person is not properly taking his/her medication;
- vi) abnormal sleep patterns of the person;
- vii) signs of flooding in the environment;
- viii) signs of fire in the environment;
- and
- ix) signs of inactivity by the person.
15 more elements
A method for monitoring the cardiac function of a person comprising:
- receiving cardiac-related data from a cardiac monitor at a base station,
- wherein the cardiac monitor and the base station comprise nodes of a wireless mesh network,
- wherein the mesh network conforms to IEEE standard 802.15.4;
- wherein the cardiac monitor is wearable on a person,
- receiving situation-related data from one or more sensors,
- wherein the situation-related data relates to conditions proximate to the person;
- transmitting the cardiac-related data to an internet-connected server;
- transmitting the situation-related data to the internet-connected server,
- wherein the internet-connected server analyzes the cardiac-related data and provides a statistical cardiac report,
- wherein the internet-connected server analyzes the situation-related data and provides a statistical situation report, and
- wherein the internet-connected server transmits the statistical cardiac report and the statistical situation report to a healthcare provider.
