Abstract
A person living with an increased risk of a potentially life threatening condition that could at any moment render the person incapacitated, may find it stressful to be left alone for any length of time even if wearing a monitoring and/or treatment device. Wearers of monitoring and/or treatment systems may find it reassuring that should they become incapacitated when the monitored event occurs, the monitoring system can obtain information during the “blind” time, that is the time between the event onset and rescue arrival. An event assistant device, responsive to a wearable monitoring device's detection of an event, can navigate to the wearable monitoring device and capture visual and/or audio information for handoff to a designated rescuer.
Claims20
A monitoring system comprising:
- a wearable monitoring device configured to sense physiological signals of a wearer to detect an event;
- a communicator configured to receive information indicative of the event from the wearable monitoring device and to communicate detection of the event;
- and
- an event assistant (EA) device configured to, responsive at least in part to the communicator's communication of the detection of the event, navigate to the wearable monitoring device.
