1. A monitoring device control system, comprising:
- a position detector that detects a chest elevation level of a subject and provides chest elevation level data;
a pressure sensor system installed on a bed that provides pressure sensor data associated with the subject;
a processor in a control unit that uses the chest elevation level data to continuously monitor a heart elevation level with respect to a reference level, wherein the control unit recalibrates the heart elevation level in accordance to whether a left movement or a right movement of the subject is detected, wherein recalibration in accordance with left movement differs from recalibration in accordance with right movement for a given subject chest thickness, wherein the control unit further comprises a closed-loop self-learning structure that nonlinearly combines the heart elevation data, the pressure sensor data and a position of a trolley or rail where a monitoring device is installed to generate one or more control parameters; and
a movement system that adjusts an elevation level of the monitoring device in response to the one or more control parameters.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating adaptive control of monitoring devices. In accordance with one aspect, a position detector detects a chest elevation level and provides chest elevation level data. A processor uses the chest elevation level data to determine a heart elevation level with respect to a reference level. A comparator compares the determined heart elevation level with an elevation level of a monitoring device with respect to the reference level. In response to the comparison, a movement system adjusts the elevation level of the monitoring device.

19. A method of controlling a monitoring device, comprising:
-
determining a heart elevation level of a subject with respect to a reference level by multiplying a chest thickness of the subject by a predetermined factor, wherein the predetermined factor is adjusted by using a predetermined coefficient based at least in part on body size of the subject and whether a left movement or a right movement of the subject is detected, wherein recalibration in accordance with left movement differs from recalibration in accordance with right movement for a given subject'"'"'s chest thickness; determining one or more control parameters by nonlinearly combining, via a closed-loop artificial neural network, the heart elevation level with demographic data of the subject; and adjusting, by a movement system, an elevation level of a monitoring device in response to the one or more control parameters.
