Abstract
A system includes a patient environment in an area, a first accelerometer attached to the first patient environment, a second accelerometer disposed in the area, and a processing system to detect an activity of a patient in the area using vibration data received from the first and the second accelerometers.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a first patient environment disposed in a first location in an area;
- a first accelerometer attached to the first patient environment, the first accelerometer to capture first vibration data in proximity to the first location;
- a second accelerometer disposed in a second location in the area that is removed from the first patient environment, the second accelerometer to capture second vibration data in proximity to the second location;
- and
- a processing system to detect an activity in the area using the first and the second vibration data received from the first and the second accelerometers, respectively.
2 more elements
A method performed by a processing system, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the processing system, first vibration data from a first accelerometer in direct contact with a patient environment in an area and second vibration data from a second accelerometer disposed in the area;
- processing, at the processing system, the first and the second vibration data to identify an activity;
- and
- providing, at the processing system, a notification corresponding to the activity.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a first plurality of accelerometers disposed in a first area, each of the plurality of accelerometers to capture vibration data from the first area;
- a second plurality of accelerometers disposed in a second area in proximity to the first area, each of the plurality of accelerometers to capture vibration data from the first area;
- and
- a processing system to detect a plurality of activities in the first and the second areas using the vibration data captured by the first and the second pluralities of accelerometers.
