1. A system for digital processing of body activities, comprising:
- an input for inputting measurements of primary body activities;
a primary processing unit for combining said primary body activities into phases to describe secondary body activities, and a secondary processing unit for combining said phrases into sentences to describe tertiary body activities, said phrases and sentences allowing a digital system to interact with at least said secondary body activities via sensing of said primary body activities.

Abstract
A personal emergency response system employs a structured terminology of body activities. Measurements of primary body activities using accelerometers, heart-bit monitors, etc. are converted to secondary and tertiary level body activities such as walk and fall, further sequenced and combined to determine a personal condition such as walk, stumble and fall, and to identify sequences of such conditions. The structured terminology enables a language supporting a functional description of body activities associated with physical and physiological measurements and enables a machine to understand physical activities.
