The present invention relates to a device, system and method for monitoring a subject. The device comprises a processing unit that is configured to detect, within the obtained image data, one or more body parts of the subject, whose image data allow determination of a desired measurement parameter, determine a level of occlusion of the detected one or more body parts, determine the desired measurement parameter from the image data of at least one of the detected one or more body parts, and compute reliability information of the determined measurement parameter based on the detected level of occlusion of the at least one of the detected one or more body parts whose image data have been used to determine the measurement parameter.
