Abstract
Apparatus is described, including a motion sensor configured to sense motion of a patient and to generate a motion signal in response thereto. The apparatus includes an output unit and a control unit. The control unit is configured to analyze the motion signal, to identify breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing in response to the analyzing, and to drive the output unit to generate an alert in response to identifying the breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing. Other applications are also described.
Claims30
Apparatus comprising:
- a motion sensor configured to sense motion of a patient and to generate a motion signal in response thereto;
- an output unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- analyze the motion signal,
- in response thereto, identify breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing, and
- drive the output unit to generate an alert in response to identifying the breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing.
A method for analyzing breathing of a patient, comprising:
- sensing motion of a patient with a motion sensor, and generating a motion signal in response thereto;
- analyzing, by a control unit, the motion signal;
- in response to the analyzing, identifying, by a control unit, breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing;
- and
- driving an output unit to generate an alert in response to identifying breathing of the patient as being shallow breathing.
Apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to continuously sense vital sign information of a patient and generate a sensor signal in response thereto;
- and
- a control unit comprising score calculating functionality that is configured to:
- continuously receive the sensor signal,
- periodically receive data indicative of a given physiological parameter of the patient,
- based on both the continuously received sensor signal and the periodically received data, calculate a continuously changing score that is indicative of the condition of a patient, and
- generate an output in response thereto.
