Abstract
A method is provided for predicting an onset of an asthma attack. The method includes sensing at least one parameter of a subject without contacting or viewing the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and predicting the onset of the asthma attack at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter. Also provided is a method for predicting an onset of an episode associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), including sensing at least one parameter of a subject without contacting or viewing the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and predicting the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter. Other embodiments are also described.
Claims50
A method for predicting an onset of an asthma attack, comprising:
- sensing, using a single sensor, at least one parameter of a subject without contacting the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and without performing viewing;
- and
- using a pattern-analysis module, predicting the onset of the asthma attack at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.
A method for predicting an onset of an episode associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), comprising:
- sensing, using a single sensor, at least one parameter of a subject without contacting the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and without performing viewing;
- and
- using a pattern-analysis module, predicting the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.
A method for predicting an onset of a clinical episode, comprising:
- sensing, using a single sensor, at least one parameter of a subject without contacting the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and without performing viewing;
- and
- using a pattern-analysis module, predicting the onset at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.
Apparatus for predicting an onset of an asthma attack, comprising:
- a single non-contact sensor, adapted to sense at least one parameter of a subject without contacting the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and without performing viewing;
- and
- a control unit, adapted to predict the onset of the asthma attack at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.
Apparatus for predicting an onset of an episode associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), comprising:

- and
- a control unit, adapted to predict the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.
