Abstract
New systems and methods for remotely monitoring the activity, security, and health of an individual are provided. The monitoring system can be used to monitor both residence security and typical residential activity that is linked to the well being and health of an individual and can alert a third party when there is a digression from a predetermined set parameters. The monitoring system can incorporate a number of sensing elements including door opening and closing detection elements, passive infrared sensors, energy sensors for detecting the turning on and off of general household appliances, weighing scales, systolic blood pressure or pulse pressure measurement apparatus, bioelectrical impedance analysis measurement apparatus, breath analysis, and blood-based biological marker detection and quantification.
