Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A monitoring system has biomechanical sensors, physiological sensors and a controller which receive sensory inputs from the sensors to provide output signals for the output device, and it detects from the sensory inputs risk of a syncopal event The bio-mechanical sensors include sensors arranged to allow the processor to detect a user postures and posture transitions. The processor operates a finite state machine, in which there is a state corresponding to each of a plurality of user physical postures and to each of a plurality of transitions between said postures, and the processor determines a relevant state depending on the sensory inputs. A device output may be muscle stimulation to prevent syncope, and there are stimulation permissions associated with the finite state machine states.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A monitoring system comprising: at least one bio-mechanical sensor, at least one physiological sensor, an output device, and a controller having a signal conditioning circuit and a processor arranged to receive sensory inputs from the sensors and to execute algorithms to provide output signals for the output device, the processor being configured to detect from the sensory inputs risk of a syncopal event and to provide output signals for preven…
