BODY SIGN DYNAMICALLY MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A real-time body status monitoring system (RMBS), comprising:
- a sensor node, which is attached to the body of a user and falls into one of two categories of sensors;
physiological sensors or contextual and situational sensors;
a computing module connected to the sensor nodes, which provides a means for acquiring multiple sensor signals, performing multiple-sensor signal fusion and analysis for sensors of the same type placed on different locations of the body, performing context-aware fusion of physiological and contextual information, storing analysis results and sample data in a database, interacting with the user, and communicating with the monitoring center; and
a monitoring center that connects to and serves many WMAs wirelessly or via a network infrastructure, forming a complete RBMS, a means for receiving and storing data in the central database, providing a platform for further data analysis across users, time, and data modalities, providing a platform for consultation services and real-time emergency response, and for prompt connections between users, caregivers, and family members;
wherein,one computing module and one or a few sensor nodes constitute a WMA worn by a user.

Abstract
A real-time body status monitoring system (RBMS) is presented in this invention. A wearable monitoring apparatus (WMA) worn by users consists of one or a few sensor nodes and a computing module. Sensor nodes communicate with the computing module via either wired or wireless protocols. RBMS incorporates a monitoring center that connects and serves many WMAs. Together with the sensors and context-aware information fusion and analysis, the system in the invention goes beyond sampling rare events that may be of profound diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic importance. It measures the physiological responses to therapeutic interventions during daily activities, which constitute direct and practical health indicators for the patient.
