1. A portable device comprising:

  • an input system for inputting detected parameters for a specific type of motion by a person;

    an accelerometer and/or gyroscope unit for measuring motion data;

    a memory unit for storing settings for detecting the specific type of motion by the person;

    an algorithm for analyzing the measured motion data, comparing characteristics of the specific type of motion by the person to the measured motion data and determining whether an alert should be sent based on the comparing;

    a processor to implement the algorithm and generate an indication that a specific abnormal motion may have occurred based on the algorithm, wherein the abnormal motion includes a seizure;

    a housing for enclosing the memory unit and the processor;

    a monitoring sensor having at least one conductive pad arranged to be placed on a respective limb of the body of the person at a monitoring location for sensing and monitoring, over a prolonged period of time, signals at the monitoring location; and

    a display attached to the housing in a manner for settings so that the specific abnormal motion or a status may be viewed;

    wherein the input system is attached to the housing in a manner so that the person or another person may enter settings.
