Abstract
An approach for monitoring a sleeping subject includes receiving an input for specifying an attachment position of a monitoring device attached to a subject, calibrating a resting positioning of the subject based on the attachment position, analyzing sensor information collected from the monitoring device to determine a movement of the subject into a potentially dangerous position with respect to the calibrated resting position, wherein the monitoring device includes an array of sensors including an accelerometer, one or more biometric sensors, or a combination thereof.
