Abstract
A system for determining a vital sign of a subject releases the likelihood of generating and outputting false alarms. The system includes a vital sign processor that processes the vital sign information signal measured by a sensor attached to a subject to obtain a vital sign of said subject. An image analysis unit detects motion of a marker attached to the sensor from image data obtained by an imaging unit from at least an imaging region containing the sensor. An alarm unit generates and outputs an alarm signal based (1) on the measured vital sign information signal and/or the obtained vital sign and (2) the detected motion of said marker.
