Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007136677A2] Disclosed is a method and apparatus for mobility detection, monitoring and analysis. The system (100) includes a wireless bracelet (130) configured to be located in an area in close proximity to an extremity of a human for measuring acceleration. The wireless bracelet (130) sends acceleration data using a mesh-type wireless network to a wireless Collector/Analyzer Server (120) for data collection and further processing. The Collector/Analyzer Server performs signal averaging and temporally smoothing of the collected acceleration data using dynamically sized moving average convolution filters and stores the results. The Collector/Analyzer Server creates differential acceleration time derivatives data, which is used to determine critical events, stores these results, and generates any preprogrammed alarms when it is determined that a critical event has occurred. The Collector/Analyzer Server profiles and correlates the derivative data including critical events with template profiles and measures the correlation for use by a medical managed service provider (120).
