Systems and methods for remotely sensing movement of a mammalian subject utilize a radio frequency (RF) transmitter configured to impinge a RF signal on tissue of a mammalian subject, a RF receiver configured to receive a reflected RF signal, a processor configured to separately identify presence of respiratory and non-respiratory motion of the mammalian subject, and a memory configured to store processes signal values generated by or derived from the processor, wherein the processor is configured to compare one or more processed signals against one or more stored processed signal values, and detect a health state or health condition of the mammalian subject. Sleep apnea and respiratory events may be detected. In one embodiment, motion of a human infant may be mapped over time, and motion trends may be used to assess proper development of the infant.

Methods and apparatus monitor health by detection of sleep stage. For example, a sleep stage monitor (100) may access sensor data signals related to bodily movement and/or respiration movements. At least a portion of the detected signals may be analyzed to calculate respiration variability. The respiration variability may include one or more of variability of respiration rate and variability of respiration amplitude. A processor may then determine a sleep stage based on one or more of respiration variability and bodily movement, such as with a combination of both. The determination of sleep stages may distinguish between deep sleep and other stages of sleep, or may differentiate between deep sleep, light sleep and REM sleep. The bodily movement and respiration movement signals may be derived from one or more sensors, such as non-invasive sensor (e.g., a non-contact radio-frequency motion sensor or a pressure sensitive mattress).

A living body detection method and a living body detection system are provided. A radio-frequency signal reflected by an experiment living body is received, and raw sampling data of the RF signal are obtained. A feature extraction process is performed to generate initial training features of sampling datasets, wherein the initial training features respectively correspond to feature generation rules. A classification prediction model is established according to a posture of the experiment living body and the initial training features, and correlation feature weightings respectively corresponding to the initial training features are obtained. Preferred features corresponding to at least one of the feature generation rules are selected from the initial training features according to the correlation feature weightings. Another classification prediction model configured for determining a posture of a detection living body is established according to the posture of the experiment living body and the preferred features.

Apparatus for determining height, width, weight or body mass index (BMI) of a subject or distance along an object. For BMI, the apparatus includes a digital camera; an application; a processing unit for storing the vertical and horizontal dimensions of known substantially rectangular reference objects. A user interface prompts and receives the type of reference object held by the user or its dimensions. For each of the vertical and horizontal dimensions, a magnitude in pixels and in distance of the reference object to form a ratio and a pixel magnitude of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the subject in the image(s), is used to derive an estimated height and width of the subject from the pixel magnitude of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the subject in the image(s). In some embodiments, the number of pixels occupied by the subject in the image(s) is used with a look-up table.

One or more analytes are detected at each of at least two different locations on the body by generating a transmit signal in a radio or microwave frequency, transmitting the signal into each of the at least two locations, and measuring a response at each of the at least two locations. One sensor can be used for all of the detections, moving the sensor from one location to another, or a different sensor can be used at each location. Biological parameters including at least one of an oxygen level or a hydration level are determined based on the detection of the one or more analytes at the locations. Differentials between the biological parameters detected at each of the at least two locations can be used to determine conditions in the subject.

A continuous blood glucose monitoring system and method measures emitted microwave energy transmitted to and accepted by blood vessels in a desired target area of a patient in order to determine, in real time and in vivo, appropriate blood glucose levels. A measurement unit comprises a transmitter operatively connected to an antenna to deliver energy towards appropriate subcutaneous blood vessels. The measurement unit determines an accepted energy power value in the blood vessels associated with the desired target area. This measurement energy power value is compared with a calibration value, and the difference is used to determine a resultant blood glucose value. The determined blood glucose value may further be acclimatized using additional sensed values compensating for biological and ambient factors relevant to the patient. The final determined blood glucose value can be displayed for reading and/or transmitted and stored for recording for further reference.
