Abstract
In a system for detecting changes in body posture, electrocardiograms are recorded. The recorded electrocardiograms analyzed are to determine changes in the body posture of a patient from changes in the morphology of the recorded electrocardiograms. The electrocardiogram analysis can be augmented by obtaining and analyzing an accelerometer signal as well.
