Monitoring physiological condition and detecting abnormalities
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an individual'"'"'s physiological condition comprising:
- acquiring electrocardiograph and ballistocardiograph signals from said individual;
receiving said electrocardiograph and ballistocardiograph signals at a computer;
said computer including a microprocessor;
converting said electrocardiograph and ballistocardiograph signals into electrocardiograph data and ballistocardiograph data;
synchronizing said electrocardiograph data with said ballistocardiograph data; and
generating an output indicative of said individual'"'"'s physiological condition.

Abstract
A method for monitoring an individual'"'"'s physiological condition and detecting abnormalities therein, comprising concurrently receiving an electrocardiograph signal and a ballistocardiograph signal. The electrocardiograph and ballistocardiograph signals are conditioned to minimize background extraneous noise after which, each signal is concurrently processed and analyzed to detect repeating cyclical patterns and further characterized to identify individual components of the repeating cycles. At least one individual component in one signal is selected as a reference marker for a selected component in the other signal. The two signals are then synchronized, outputs produced therefrom and stored in a database.
