PRESSURE SIGNATURE BASED BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS, SENSOR ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS

摘要

The present invention is systems and methods using an array of pressure based sensors to monitor biometric information in a human patient. Data assembled and analyzed form the pressure sensor array can be compared to reference data to analyze a variety of parameters including posture, position, movement, both at individual points and over time. The assembled data is correlated to behavior, or the presence, progression, or recovery relative to a disease state. Analytical methods are disclosed for processing absolute and relative position, time, and physical data from the pressure sensor array. The sensor may be creating single plane sensor, with arbitrary layers of pressure sensitive material. These sensor configurations can be used for a variety of end uses, such as pressure sensors, moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and any kind of flexible or rigid array of one or more sensors.
