Abstract
A present-in-bed state monitoring system () configured to monitor a present-in-bed state of a subject on a bed (BD) includes: a plurality of load detectors () configured to be provided on the bed or under legs of the bed to detect a load of the subject; a center of gravity position calculating unit () configured to calculate a center of gravity position of the subject based on the detected load of the subject; a waveform output unit () configured to output a waveform including a respiratory waveform of the subject based on a temporal variation of the calculated center of gravity position; a center of gravity position determining unit () configured to determine whether or not the center of gravity position is in an edge area of the bed; a body motion determining unit () configured to determine whether or not the subject has a body motion based on the waveform including the respiratory waveform of the subject, the body motion being different from a respiration of the subject; and a notifying unit () configured to perform a notification about the present-in-bed state of the subject based on a determination result of the body motion determining unit and a determination result of the center of gravity position determining unit.
