1. An apparatus comprising:
- an accelerometer adapted for generating an acceleration signal based on a detected acceleration;
a processor coupled to the accelerometer and executing a set of instructions adapted for analyzing the acceleration signal; and
a transceiver coupled to the processor and adapted to wirelessly receive an address for a monitoring device and adapted to transmit an alarm signal based on the acceleration signal to the address.

Abstract
Portable accelerometer coupled to a processor and wireless transceiver providing remote monitoring of sensed acceleration. A BLUETOOTH®-compatible transceiver allows bi-directional communication including transmission of operating parameters and programming as well arm and cancel commands. Networked communications allows remote monitoring and integration with public safety answering point (PSAP). Signal processing at the portable device discerns includes comparison of sensed acceleration with stored profile.
