1. A method for monitoring activity, comprising:
- monitoring a sensor activated by an individual;
recording activation of the sensor;
determining a behavior routine of the individual based on recorded activations of the sensor;
analyzing the recorded sensor activations to determine a behavior routine; and
identifying a change in the behavior routine based on the analysis of the recorded sensor activations.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, devices, and systems to monitor activity. One method to monitor activity includes monitoring a sensor activated by an individual. The method also includes recording activation of the sensor, determining a behavior routine of the individual based on recorded activations of the sensor, and analyzing the recorded sensor activations to determine a behavior routine. The method also includes identifying a change in the behavior routine based on the analysis of the recorded sensor activations.

12. A method for monitoring the behavior of an individual, comprising:
-
recording data counts from sensors activated by an individual during a time period;
identifying statistical changes in the data counts relative to expected data counts during the time period; and
initiating automated contact to a third party on a hierarchical third party list identified by the individual when a statistical change exceeds a statistical threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer readable medium having a program to cause a device to perform a method, comprising:
-
sensing data counts associated with an activity of daily living for an individual;
determining a statistical change in the data counts relative to expected data counts for the activity of daily living;
identifying when the statistical change in the data counts relative expected data counts exceed a statistical threshold value;
selecting a third party on a hierarchical third party list based on the activity of daily living for which the statistical change in the data counts relative expected data counts exceed the statistical threshold value; and
initiating automated contact to the third party on the hierarchical third party list when the statistical based change exceeds the statistical threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system to monitoring activity, comprising:
-
means for signaling that a sensor has been activated by an individual during activities of daily living;
a receiver to receive signals, indicating that the sensor has been activated;
a tabulation unit to tabulate the number of received signals;
an analysis unit to analyze the tabulated signals to determine a behavior routine and identify changes in the behavior routine; and
a contacting unit to initiate contact with a third party when the analysis unit identifies a change in the behavior routine. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
