1. A method of passively monitoring at least one patient, the method comprising:

  • providing a sensor device on a surface, the sensor device having at least two piezoelectric sensors;

    coupling a patient with at least a portion of the sensor device by allowing the patient to lie, sit, lean, stand on or wear the surface;

    sensing a first mechanical signal with a first piezoelectric sensor of the sensor device;

    sensing a second mechanical signal with a second piezoelectric sensor of the sensor device;

    converting the first and second mechanical signals into first and second digital signals;

    comparing the first and second digital signals; and

    providing patient data to a user based on the comparison of the digital signals.
