Abstract

A bed exit warning system is used in monitoring a user on a bed that include one or more sensors for measuring one or more physiological characteristics of the user and for producing corresponding signals indicative of the one more physiological characteristics. A processor is configured to monitor the corresponding signals and to determine the likelihood that the user is about to get out of the bed from changes in the one or more physiological characteristics.
