Abstract
Apparatus for monitoring a subject is described. A sensor detects monitors the subject and generates a signal in response thereto. A control unit analyzes the signal, and in response to the analyzing, identifies a clinical parameter of the subject. The control unit received an indication of a menstrual cycle of the subject. Taking into account the subject'"'"'s menstrual cycle, the control unit identifies a baseline value of the clinical parameter, compares the identified clinical parameter to the baseline value, and, in response to the comparing, the control unit (a) determines whether a clinical episode is predicted, (b) determines whether a clinical episode is currently occurring, and/or (c) monitors an occurring clinical episode. The control unit generates an output in response thereto. Other applications are also described.

18. Apparatus for monitoring a subject, the apparatus comprising:
-
a sensor, configured to monitor the subject during a sleeping session of the subject, and to generate a signal in response thereto; and a control unit, configured to; analyze the sensor signal, and in response to an aspect of the sensor signal starting from a given time period after a beginning of the sleeping session, perform an action selected from the group consisting of;
determine whether a clinical episode is predicted, determine whether a clinical episode is currently occurring, and monitor an occurring clinical episode, andgenerate an output in response thereto.
