1. A device for alerting a user of prolonged sedentary behavior, the device comprising:

  • a controller, the controller having at least one input and at least one output, the controller calculating a predetermined time of inactivity from a first algorithm;

    at least one accelerometer for monitoring physical activity in at least two axes, the at least one accelerometer having at least one output in communication with the at least one input of the controller, the at least one accelerometer producing first accelerometer signals and second accelerometer signals,wherein first accelerometer signals correspond to the user being inactive and second accelerometer signals correspond to the user being active;

    a timer, the timer having at least one input and at least one output, the at least one input being in communication with the at least one output of the controller; and

    wherein the at least one output of the controller outputs a first controller signal to the timer upon detection of a first accelerometer signal, the first controller signal starting the timer, andwherein the at least one output of the timer outputs a first timer signal if the timer reaches the predetermined time of inactivity, andwherein the controller outputs a user alert signal upon receiving the first timer signal.
