Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for monitoring and controlling the status of humans or animals, in particular relating to both the physical and the arousal status of an individual human or animal. These methods and systems rely on a dynamic and adaptive data-based on-line modelling technique wherein information on bioprocess inputs and outputs is measured in real-time and the model predicts an output based on the bioprocess input. The provided methods are particularly useful to monitor and/or control processes in which performance is important.

Abstract: A system and method are described for combining the respiratory status (e.g. amount and type of cough) with the localization of organisms having the respiratory status in real time. The organisms are able to suffer from a respiratory complaint, i.e. they have lungs such as mammals especially farm animals and humans. In particular the present invention is advantageous for animals and humans who are exposed to closed confinements such as pens, cages, aircraft, public places where humans are in close proximity to each other.
