Abstract

The invention comprises a wearable personal communication device containing a profile system and/or a profile matching system coupled with a medical sensor and communication means to communicate with an outside system, such as an emergency response system, an enforcement office, a regulatory system, and/or a vehicle ignition system. Optionally, transferred data is sent wirelessly, in a secured format, and/or through use of a digital certificate.

Claims

1. An apparatus for monitoring an individual, comprising:

a medical device, said medical device comprising an accelerometer configured to monitor shaking of the individual;

a wearable personal communication device communicatively linked with said medical device, said wearable personal communication device comprising;

digital storage of identification of the individual; and

means for communication with an outside system, the outside system comprising;

a vehicle ignition interlock system; and

at least one of a medical system and a legal system; and

means for wirelessly transmitting location and identification of the individual.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, said outside system further comprising at least one of:

a phone;

a tablet;

a phablet; and

an internet.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, said wearable personal communication device comprising at least one of:

a ring;

an earring;

an object passing through a piercing of the individual during use;

a necklace;

a watch; and

a bracelet.

4. The apparatus of claim 2, said wearable personal communication device comprising a bracelet, said bracelet further comprising:

a band semi-permanently circumferentially surrounding a body part of the individual in a non-removable manner without at least one of;

destruction of the bracelet and unlocking of the bracelet by a legal enforcement agent; and

a system of recording and communicating secure transactional stamps, said bracelet configured to wirelessly communicate and warrant identity of the individual using a secure encrypted digital transactional stamp in a manner admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence.

5. The apparatus of claim 2, said medical device comprising both

an alcohol sensor and

said accelerometer.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, said medical device at least partially embedded in a bracelet, said medical device further comprising:

a processor comprising code used to determine from a signal from said accelerometer, in said bracelet, a seizure of the individual.

7. The apparatus of claim 1, said medical device configured to be worn by the individual, said medical device further comprising:

a processor comprising code used to determine from signal from said accelerometer

an accident.

8. The apparatus of claim 6, said means for wireless transmitting configured to transmit output indicative of the seizure, determined from said accelerometer and said processor, to said ignition interlock system.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, said legal system comprising at least one of:

a legal administration system;

a legal enforcement system; and

a parole officer.

10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said means for transmitting further comprise:

an automated contact of said legal system upon determination by at least one of said medical sensor and said bracelet of a state of drunkenness based on the shaking of the individual.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, said medical sensor at least partially embedded into a bracelet.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, said medical sensor at least partially embedded into said bracelet further comprising at least three of:

an alcohol sensor;

a temperature sensor;

a heart rate monitor; and

a blood pressure monitor.

13. The apparatus of claim 3, said bracelet further comprising:

a computer coded interface system for communicating and warranting both presence of the individual and identity of the individual using a secure transactional stamp to the outside system.

14. The apparatus of claim 3, said wearable personal communication device further comprising:

law enforcement network internal restricted access computer code for providing a secure transactional stamp to at least one of;

a controller of a vehicle ignition system;

a police authority;

a police authority system;

a supervisor;

a parole officer; and

a law enforcement network.

15. A method for monitoring an individual, comprising:

providing a medical device;

using a sensor of said medical device to generate a signal;

the individual wearing a personal communication device, said personal communication device;

communicatively linked with said medical device;

digitally storing identification of the individual and the signal from the medical device in a microchip;

communicating, using said personal communication device, with an outside system;

instructing said outside system to communicate results of said medical sensor and identification of the individual to a response system; and

rewarding the individual based on the signal from the medical device stored in said microchip.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein said outside system comprises at least one of:

a phone;

a tablet;

a phablet; and

an internet.

19. The method of claim 15, further comprising the step of:

monitoring an alcohol level with said sensor, the step of rewarding using the alcohol level.

21. The method of claim 16, further comprising the step of:

sending output of the medical device to at least one of;

a controller of a vehicle ignition system;

a police authority;

a police authority system;

a supervisor;

a parole officer; and

a law enforcement network.

22. The method of claim 16, further comprising the step of:

wirelessly communicating a medical history of the individual from said personal communication device to on-site emergency response personnel.

23. The method of claim 16, further comprising the step of:

matching said individual to a group using information stored in said microchip worn by the individual.

17. A method for monitoring an individual, comprising the steps of:

the individual wearing a personal communication device, said personal communication device digitally storing identification of the individual in a microchip;

monitoring location of the individual using said personal communication device;

communicating, using said personal communication device, with an outside system; and

rewarding the individual for maintaining presence in a geographically court ordered zone.

20. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of:

serving a warning to the individual.

18. (canceled)

24. A method for monitoring an individual, comprising:

the individual wearing a personal communication device, said wearable personal communication device comprising;

digital storage of identification of the individual;

digital storage information comprising a court ordered restriction of purchase of a drug by the individual; and

means for communication with an outside system

said means for communication communicating the information about the individual to an outside system.

25. The method of claim 24, wherein the restriction further comprises:

a restriction of authorization to purchase

alcohol.
