Method and apparatus for biometric monitoring
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.

the sensor information including at least one of accelerometer data or biometric data;
determining, by the device and based on receiving the sensor information, a movement of the subject from the resting position to a different position; and
causing, by the device and based on determining the movement of the subject from the resting position to the different position, an image of the subject to be provided on a display.
