Abstract
Method and systems provide for reliable, convenient, and cost-effective personalized assessment of hemodynamic status in the ambulatory heart failure patient. The method and apparatus use pulse contour analysis of data obtained through observation of the patient for determination of hemodynamic status, and for determination of day-to-day changes in hemodynamic status. Observational assessment of the patient includes monitoring during activities of daily living including sleeping, sitting and standing. These activities create changes in venous return that are used to evaluate cardiac function or changes in cardiac function. The method and system infer body position by using position and motion information obtained by the system. Changes in cardiac function over time or due to changes in body pose are evaluated for the assessment of hemodynamic status, with a focus on changes resulting from fluid overload.
