Abstract
An approach for monitoring a sleeping subject includes receiving an input for specifying an attachment position of a monitoring device attached to a subject, calibrating a resting positioning of the subject based on the attachment position, analyzing sensor information collected from the monitoring device to determine a movement of the subject into a potentially dangerous position with respect to the calibrated resting position, wherein the monitoring device includes an array of sensors including an accelerometer, one or more biometric sensors, or a combination thereof.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an input for specifying an attachment position of a monitoring device attached to a subject;
- calibrating a resting positioning of the subject based on the attachment position;
- and
- analyzing sensor information collected from the monitoring device to determine a movement of the subject into a potentially dangerous position with respect to the calibrated resting position,
- wherein the monitoring device includes an array of sensors including an accelerometer, one or more biometric sensors, or a combination thereof.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to:
- receive an input for specifying an attachment position of a monitoring device attached to a subject;
- calibrate a resting positioning of the subject based on the attachment position;
- and
- analyze sensor information collected from the monitoring device to determine a movement of the subject into a potentially dangerous position with respect to the calibrated resting position,
- wherein the monitoring device includes an array of sensors including an accelerometer, one or more biometric sensors, or a combination thereof.
A system comprising:
- a mobile device;
- a monitoring device attached to a subject;
- a monitoring platform configured to receive an input for specifying the attachment position of the monitoring device on the subject, calibrate a resting positioning of the subject based on the attachment position, and analyze sensor information collected from the monitoring device to determine a movement of the subject into a potentially dangerous position with respect to the calibrated resting position,
- wherein the monitoring device includes an array of sensors including an accelerometer, one or more biometric sensors, or a combination thereof.
