First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical monitoring device, comprising:
- a motion detection device adapted to detect whole body motion of a person; and
a vital sign monitoring device communicatively connected to the motion detection device and adapted to monitor at least one vital sign for a predetermined time interval, either continuously or intermittently, in response to the detected whole body motion;
wherein the vital sign monitoring device is configured to measure blood pressure of a person, and includes either a cuff-less or a cuff-based blood pressure measuring device.

Abstract
A medical monitoring device (12) includes a motion detection device (20, 50) and a vital sign monitoring device (26, 52) communicatively connected to the motion detection device. The motion detection device (20, 50) detects whole body motion of a person. The vital sign monitoring device (26, 52) monitors, either continuously or intermittently, at least one vital sign for a predetermined time interval in response to the detected whole body motion. The vital sign is evaluated, e.g. for orthostatic intolerance, and in response to an affirmative evaluation an alarm signal is issued.
