A monitoring device includes a memory with a management application installed thereon. The application is configured to process a sensor signal generated by a sensor system configured between a patient and a corresponding surface, the sensor signal being configured based on a physiological movement detected by the sensor system, analyze the sensor signal utilizing a monitoring heuristic associated with a patient profile. The monitoring heuristic is configured to identify physiological movement patterns over time within the sensor signal and generate an output based on the physiological movement patterns.
