    摘要: The invention relates to a motion determination apparatus for determining motion of a moving object, wherein the motion determination apparatus (1) comprises a multi-axial accelerometer (2) for being positioned at the moving object (4), wherein the multi-axial accelerometer (2) is adapted to generate accelerometer signals indicative of the acceleration along different spatial axes. The motion determination apparatus further comprises a motion signal generation unit (3) for generating a motion signal indicative of the motion of the object (4) by combining the accelerometer signals of different spatial axes. The combination of the accelerometer signals of different spatial axes yields a motion signal having a large signal-to-noise ratio, even if an axis is located close to a rotational axis of the movement.

    摘要: Respiration of a patient is detected by emitting an electromagnetic signal towards the patient; receiving a reflected electromagnetic signal reflected from the patient; converting the reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a first signal; phase-shifting the reflected electromagnetic signal and converting the phase-shifted reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a second signal; determining a first vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common first point in time; determining a second vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common second point in time; and calculating the scalar product of the normalized first vector and the normalized second vector as an indicator value for a change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa. A change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa is preferably indicated if the indicator value is below a threshold value, preferably below a value of 0. In this way, respiration is monitored contactlessly and remotely based on the Doppler radar principle which is reliable and easy to handle.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing a cyclic physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54). The method comprises the steps of repeatedly collecting (2) the physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54) over a time period (31, 32, 33) covering two or more cycles of the cyclic physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54), wherein a next time period (31, 32, 33) is adjacent to or overlaps with a previous time period (31, 32, 33), extracting values (3, 13) of a set of predefined parameters from the physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54) within each time period (31, 32, 33) which parameter values characterize the physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54) within the time period (31, 32, 33), and classifying (4, 14) the physiological signal (30, 40, 52, 53, 54) within each time period (31, 32, 33) based upon the extracted set of predefined parameter values. This provides for an efficient analysis of a cyclic physiological signal which is especially suitable for continuous monitoring of patients where a trend of a reliable physiological signal is more important than an instantaneous measurement of a reliable physiological signal, such as in a general ward environment of a hospital and/or in a home environment.
