System and method for remote monitoring of a user's vital signs and bodily functions

A system to monitor a user's health comprising:

• a monitor element securable to and in contact with the user's body at any desired position, the monitor element including at least one sensor providing information associated with health of the user, the sensor providing information associated with one or more of:
• user heart rate;
• user respiration rate;
• user blood pressure;
• user oxygen level;
• the sensor including:
• at least one light emitting diode;
• at least one light sensor facing the user, wherein the at least one light sensor provides light sensing information based on light reflected from the at least one light emitting diode off the user's skin;
• and
• a bed sensor configured to provide position information associated with a position of the user in a bed;
• a central station in communication with the monitor element, wherein the information associated with health of the user and position information are received by the central station, wherein the central station analyzes the information associated with health of the user and position information and determines whether intervention is appropriate, based at least one of:
• at least one heartrate threshold;
• at least one respiration rate threshold;
• at least one blood pressure threshold based on at least the light sensing information;
• and
• at least one oxygen level threshold.
