ACTIVITY, POSTURE AND HEART MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring activity and posture of a person in correlation with the person'"'"'s heart activity, comprising:
- a) simultaneously detecting first linear accelerations and first angular speeds of rotation of an upper part of the person'"'"'s body, second linear accelerations and second angular speeds of rotation of a lower part of the person'"'"'s body, and the person'"'"'s electrocardiogram signal; and
b) determining the person'"'"'s activity and posture from the first and second linear accelerations, the first and second angular speeds of rotation; and
at least one of;
i) a derivation signal, ii) heart rate and iii) a respiratory rate of the person from the electrocardiogram signal.

14. A system for monitoring physical activity and posture of a person in correlation with the person'"'"'s heart activity, comprising:
-
a first sensing unit configured to be positioned on an upper part of the person'"'"'s body, a second sensing unit configured to be positioned on a lower part of the person'"'"'s body, each one of said first and second sensing units comprising a 3-axes accelerometer and a 3-axes gyroscope, and an electrocardiogram sensing unit adapted to be positioned on the person'"'"'s chest; a recorder connected to said first sensing unit, said second sensing unit and said electrocardiogram sensing unit; and an analysis program; wherein said first and second sensing units collect linear accelerations and angular speeds of rotation of the upper part and the lower part of the person'"'"'s body respectively as said electrocardiogram sensing unit collects an electrical signal of the person'"'"'s heart;
said recorder receiving said linear accelerations, angular speeds of rotation and said electrical signal of the person'"'"'s heart, and said analysis program processing said linear accelerations and said angular speeds of rotation into the person'"'"'s posture and activity;
said analysis program processing said electrical signal of the person'"'"'s heart into at least one of;
i) a derivation signal, ii) heart rate and iii) respiratory rate, of the person, in correlation with the person'"'"'s posture and activity. - View Dependent Claims (15)
