Mobile device that monitors an individuals activities, behaviors, habits or health parameters
A mobile device is provided that obtains monitored information about an individual. A display is coupled to a housing. A memory is coupled to a memory and one or more processing units (CPU's), a peripherals interface, a Network Systems circuitry and an input/output (I/O) subsystems. A system is included with one or more sensors that detects or measure an individual's activities.
1. A monitoring system, comprising:
a monitoring device that includes ID circuitry with an ID storage that contains a unique individual ID, a communication system which reads and transmits the unique individual ID from the ID storage, a power source, a pathway system, a microphone, an RF transmitter and sensors to determine air quality, sound level, sound quality, light quality and ambient temperature near an individual, the RF transmitter serving as the communication system;
an accelerometer or a movement detection device configured to detect movement of the individual, the accelerator and the monitoring device configured to calculate or derive sleep onset and wake time, sleep interruptions, and quality and depth of sleep from the movement of the individual, the microphone configured to record an individual's movement sounds detected by the accelerometer or the movement detection device, the accelerometer or movement detection device configured to cause the microphone to stop recording the individual's movement sounds when the movement sounds are not directed to a sleep related parameter;
a telemetry system, the telemetry system in operation receiving sleep information and sleep related parameter information data of one or more individual's, the telemetry system or the monitoring system at least partially analyzing the one or more individual's sleep information and sleep related parameter information data to calculate or derive the sleep onset and the wake time, the sleep interruptions, and the quality and depth of the sleep, the telemetry system having a database that includes base individual information related to the sleep information and the sleep related parameter information data and information regarding a degree to which the one or more individual's has followed a routine; and
an alert, wherein the alert is activated only when the one or more individual's is awake.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
one or more analysis tools at the telemetry system.
3. The device of claim 2 , further comprising:
a feedback system or subsystem at the telemetry system that provides feedback to the individual.
4. The device of either claim 3 , wherein the feedback is in graphical form.
5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the feedback system or subsystem in operation generates one or more web pages containing the feedback.
6. The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more analysis tools in operation compares the one or more individual's sleep information and sleep related parameter information data to the base individual information in the database.
7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the base individual information includes threshold values.
8. The device of claim 7 , the one or more analysis tools in operation compares the one or more individual's sleep information and sleep related parameter information data from the telemetry system with one or more sensors to the threshold values.
9. The device of claim 8 , wherein an alert at the monitoring device is activated when the one or more individual's sleep information and sleep related parameter information data exceeds a threshold value of the threshold values.
10. The device of claim 8 , wherein an alert is an audio or visual alert.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the monitoring system further includes a display.
