1. A method for predicting an onset of a clinical episode, comprising:
- sensing breathing of a subject;
determining at least one breathing pattern of the subject responsively to the sensed breathing;
comparing the breathing pattern with a baseline breathing pattern; and
predicting the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the comparison.

Abstract
A method is provided for predicting an onset of a clinical episode, the method including sensing breathing of a subject, determining at least one breathing pattern of the subject responsively to the sensed breathing, comparing the breathing pattern with a baseline breathing pattern, and predicting the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the comparison. Other embodiments are also described.

12. Apparatus for predicting an onset of a clinical episode, comprising:
-
a breathing sensor, adapted to sense breathing of a subject, and to generate a signal responsively thereto; and
a control unit, adapted to;
receive the signal, determine at least one breathing pattern of the subject responsive to the signal, compare the breathing pattern with a baseline breathing pattern, and predict the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. Apparatus comprising:
-
a breathing sensor, adapted to sense breathing of a subject during a clinical episode, and to generate a signal responsively thereto; and
a control unit, adapted to;
receive the signal, determine at least one breathing pattern of the subject responsive to the signal, compare the breathing pattern with a baseline breathing pattern, and assess a progression of the episode at least in part responsively to the comparison.
