US Patent 9368014 Patient activity signature analysis

Tools, strategies, and techniques are provided for remote, early detection of patient health condition based on deviations from established patterns of patient movement or other activity. Once established, a patient activity signature can be compared to observed patient behavior to detect unacceptable or unexpected deviations from the activity signature. Deviation from a patient movement signature can be detected and can cause an alert or other notification to be generated or communicated to a physician, for example, or other appropriate health care providers.
