Abstract
A system and method for monitoring a person within a defined area by detecting breathing, or the lack thereof. Breathing is detected using radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals. The radar signals, camera signals and/or microphone signals are analyzed to determine if the subject person is moving, and if not moving if the person is breathing or not-breathing. An alarm is generated should the reflected radar signals, the camera signals and the microphone signals all simultaneously indicate no movement and no movement of the subject person in the defined area for a selected period of time.
Claims20
A method of monitoring a patient to detect life signs, comprising:
- providing a monitoring device to monitor a patient, wherein the monitoring device includes:
- a radar device to receive radar data corresponding to the patient,
- an image device to receive image data corresponding to the patient, and
- an audio device to receive audio data corresponding to the patient;
- receiving, during a first time period, at least one of:
- first radar data, with the radar device, indicative of movement,
- first image data, with the image device, indicative of movement, and
- first audio data, with the audio device, indicative of movement;
- determining, in the first time period, that at least one of the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates movement comprising at least one first indication of movement and at least one second indication of movement;
- determining, in the first time period, that the at least one first indication of movement is from movement of the patient;
- determining, in the first time period, that the at least one second indication of movement is from a source other than movement of the patient;
- receiving, during a second time period:
- second radar data, with the radar device, indicative of a lack of movement of the patient,
- second image data, with the image device, indicative of the lack of movement of the patient, and
- second audio data, with the audio device, indicative of the lack of movement of the patient;
- and
- outputting a warning when:
- at least one of the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates the movement of the patient during the first time period, and
- all of the second radar data, the second image data, and the second audio data indicates the lack of movement of the patient during the second time period.

- a radar device to receive radar data corresponding to the patient,
- an image device to receive image data corresponding to the patient, and
- an audio device to receive audio data corresponding to the patient;
- receiving, by the monitoring device, during a first time period, at least one of:
- first radar data, with the radar device, indicative of movement,
- first image data, with the image device, indicative of movement, and
- first audio data, with the audio device, indicative of movement;
- determining, by the monitoring device, that
- at least one of the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates movement comprising first movement data with at least one first indication of movement and at least one second indication of movement;
- that the at least one second indication of movement is from a source other than movement of the patient, and
- that the at least one first indication of movement is from movement of the patient;
- outputting, by the monitoring device, based at least in part on the at least one first indication of movement, a first output indicating which of the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates movement of the patient;
- receiving, during a second time period, second movement data:
- second radar data, with the radar device, indicative of a lack of movement of the patient,
- second image data, with the image device, indicative of the lack of movement of the patient, and
- second audio data, with the audio device, indicative of the lack of movement of the patient;
- and
- outputting, by the monitoring device, a warning based at least in part on the first movement data during the first time period and the second movement data during the second time period.

- outputting, by the monitoring device, at least one of a first output indicating the at least one second movement indication that indicates movement of the patient, or a second output indicating the at least one first movement indication that indicates movement other than of the patient;
- receiving, by a remote electronic device, at least one of the first output or the second output;
- and
- using, at least one screen of the remote electronic device, to show at least one of:
- a first display element indicating whether the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates movement of the patient, or
- a second display element indicating whether the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates movement other than of the patient;
- outputting, by the monitoring device or the remote electronic device, a warning when:
- at least one of the first radar data, the first image data, and the first audio data indicates the movement of the patient during the first time period, and
- all of the second radar data, the second image data, and the second audio data indicates the lack of movement of the patient during the second time period.
