METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR WEARABLE VITAL SIGNS AND PHYSIOLOGY, ACTIVITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

摘要

A motion analysis telemonitor system includes a wearable monitoring device that monitors the activity level and movements of a person wearing the device. The wearable monitoring device is able to determine whether the person has fallen through a model analysis technique using characteristic movements of a fall. The wearable device generally transmits data and alerts over a short distance to a console. The console, in turn, transmits data and alerts to a monitoring center. The motion analysis telemonitor system is also able to monitor progression of disease through changes in movement, also fatigue and other performance factors.
