| Abstract: |
A transducer in communication with fluid in a pad held in close contact against a sound or movement source monitors acoustic signals transferred into the fluid. The signal pattern is monitored aurally and/or compared to predetermined reference patterns, and optional control and stimulation means can be activated in response to the comparison results. The sensed acoustic signal can be transmitted to a remote receiver or processed locally. Typically, the acoustic signal is representative of the heartbeat or breathing of a living organism. The monitoring system may be applied to diverse situations including SIDS, apnea, home baby monitoring, medical transport devices, blood pressure cuffs, seats, combat casualty care and hand-held devices.

What is claimed is:
1. An acoustic monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor pad adapted to conform to at least a portion of the surface of a living organism, said pad defining at least one chamber containing acoustic transmission material and adapted to receive acoustic signals originating from and produced by the organism; and
- acoustic transducing means coupled with said pad for monitoring and converting said acoustic signals received by said pad to electrical signals corresponding to said acoustic signals.
