Prediction and monitoring of clinical episodes
First Claim
1. A method for predicting an onset of an asthma attack, comprising:
- sensing, using a single sensor, at least one parameter of a subject without contacting the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and without performing viewing; and
using a pattern-analysis module, predicting the onset of the asthma attack at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter.

Abstract
A method is provided for predicting an onset of an asthma attack. The method includes sensing at least one parameter of a subject without contacting or viewing the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and predicting the onset of the asthma attack at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter. Also provided is a method for predicting an onset of an episode associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), including sensing at least one parameter of a subject without contacting or viewing the subject or clothes the subject is wearing, and predicting the onset of the episode at least in part responsively to the sensed parameter. Other embodiments are also described.
