1. Apparatus for monitoring a female subject, the apparatus comprising:
- a sensor, configured;
to be disposed at a location selected from the group consisting of;
upon the subject'"'"'s bed, and within the subject'"'"'s bed,to monitor the subject, while the subject is in her bed, without requiring compliance of the subject, andto generate a sensor signal in response to the monitoring, the sensor signal being indicative of the subject'"'"'s own heartbeat; and
a computer processor, configured to;
receive the sensor signal,analyze the sensor signal, by comparing the subject'"'"'s own heartbeat to a heartbeat previously exhibited by the subject,based upon comparing the subject'"'"'s own heartbeat to the heartbeat previously exhibited by the subject, identify whether the subject is in a pregnant state or a non-pregnant state, andgenerate an output in response thereto.

a sensor, configured; to be disposed at a location selected from the group consisting of;
upon the subject'"'"'s bed, and within the subject'"'"'s bed,to monitor the subject, while the subject is in her bed, without requiring compliance of the subject, and to generate a sensor signal in response to the monitoring, the sensor signal being indicative of the subject'"'"'s respiratory rate; and a computer processor, configured to; receive the sensor signal, analyze the sensor signal, by comparing the subject'"'"'s respiratory rate to a respiratory rate previously exhibited by the subject, based upon comparing the subject'"'"'s respiratory rate to the respiratory rate previously exhibited by the subject, identify whether the subject is in a pregnant state or a non-pregnant state, and generate an output in response thereto. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
