Physiological monitoring devices with adjustable stability

A method of monitoring a subject via a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device includes at least one physiological sensor configured to detect and/or measure physiological information from the subject, at least one activity sensor configured to sense physical activity information from the subject, at least one actuator configured to adjust stability of the monitoring device relative to a body of the subject, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one activity sensor and the at least one actuator, the method comprising:

• detecting and/or measuring physiological information from the subject via the at least one physiological sensor;
• detecting a change in a physical activity of the subject by processing, via the at least one processor, physical activity information sensed by the at least one activity sensor;
• and
• controlling the at least one actuator, via the at least one processor, to adjust the stability of the monitoring device relative to the body of the subject in response to detecting a change in the physical activity of the subject.

A method of monitoring a subject via a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device comprises an actuator configured to adjust stability of the monitoring device, the method comprising:

• collecting physiological data from a physiological sensor worn by the subject;
• collecting physical activity data from an activity sensor worn by the subject;
• processing the collected physical activity data and the physiological data via at least one processor to detect a change in a physical activity of the subject;
• and
• controlling the actuator via the at least one processor to adjust the stability of the monitoring device relative to a body of the subject in response to detecting a change in the physical activity of the subject.
