Systems and Methods for Monitoring Vital Signs Based on Sensed Changes in a Target

摘要

Methods and systems for monitoring the well-being of a target are disclosed. In a method embodiment, data representing a signal is received by a computer system. The signal may be generated at least in part by one or more sensors in response to the detection of a change in an electrical field, electric potential, capacitance, and/or dielectric constant of a target spaced apart from the one or more sensors. The method may further include identifying, using the computer system and based at least in part on the data electronically received by the computer system, a recurring pattern in the received data. The method may also include determining, using the computer system and based at least in part on the received data, whether a deviation from the recurring pattern transgresses a threshold. The deviation may comprise a subset of the data electronically received by the computer system.

1. A method comprising:
electronically receiving, by a computer system, data representing a signal generated at least in part by one or more sensors detecting a change in capacitance or dielectric constant of a target spaced apart from the one or more sensors; identifying, using the computer system and based at least in part on the data electronically received by the computer system, a recurring pattern in the data; and determining, using the computer system and based at least in part on the data electronically received by the computer system, whether a deviation from the recurring pattern transgresses a threshold, the deviation comprising a subset of the data electronically received by the computer system.
