SYSTEM FOR MONITORING INDIVIDUALS AS THEY AGE IN PLACE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of monitoring the wellbeing of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a user with computerized eyewear comprising at least one sensor for monitoring the motion of the user;
b. receiving, by a processor, data generated by the at least one sensor;
c. at least partially in response to receiving data generated by the at least one sensor, determining, by a processor, the user'"'"'s movements using the received data;
d. at least partially in response to determining the user'"'"'s movements, comparing, by a processor, the user'"'"'s movements to previously established one or more movement patterns for the user;
e. detecting, by a processor, one or more inconsistencies between the current user'"'"'s movements as compared to the previously established one or more movement patterns;
f. at least partially in response to detecting the one more inconsistencies, notifying, by a processor, at least one recipient selected from a group consisting of;
the user or a third party of the detected one or more inconsistencies.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, and related system, for monitoring the wellbeing of an individual by providing eyewear that includes at least one sensor for monitoring the motion of the user. In various embodiments, the system receives data generated by the at least one sensor, uses the data to determine the user'"'"'s movements using the received data, and compares the user'"'"'s movements to previously established movement patterns of the user. If the system detects one or more inconsistencies between the user'"'"'s current movements as compared to the previously established movement patterns of the user, the system may notify the user or a third party of the detected one or more inconsistencies. The system may similarly monitor a user'"'"'s compliance with a medical regime and notify the user or a third party of the user'"'"'s compliance with the regime.

10. A computer-implemented method of monitoring the wellbeing of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a user with a computerized wearable comprising at least one sensor for monitoring actions taken by a user; b. receiving, by a processor, a medicine regime associated with the user; c. receiving, by a processor, data generated by the at least one sensor; d. analyzing, by a processor, the received data generated by the at least one sensor to determine data selected from the group consisting of one or more; i. types of medicine taken by the user; ii. times the medicine is taken by the user; and iii. doses of medicine taken by the user; e. at least partially in response to analyzing the received data generated by the at least one sensor, comparing, by a processor, the medicine regime for the user to the determined one or more of the types of medicine taken by the user, the one or more times the medicine is taken by the user, or the one or more doses of medicine taken by the user; f. detecting, by a processor, one or more inconsistencies between the medicine regime associated with the user and the determined one or more of the types of medicine taken by the user, the one or more times the medicine is taken by the user, or the one or more doses of medicine taken by the user; g. at least partially in response to detecting one or more inconsistencies, notifying, by a processor, at least one recipient selected from a group consisting of;
the user or the third party of the detected inconsistencies. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. Eyewear for monitoring the well-being of an individual, said eyewear comprising:
-
a. a frame portion that is adapted for supporting at least one lens, a front portion of the frame portion defining a first lateral side and a second lateral side; b. a first temple attached adjacent the first lateral side, the first temple being mounted to extend, at least selectively, rearwardly away from the frame portion so that a first temple distal portion may engage a first ear of a wearer of the eyewear to at least partially support the eyewear while the eyewear is being worn adjacent the wearer'"'"'s face; c. a second temple attached adjacent the second lateral side, the second temple being mounted to extend, at least selectively, rearwardly away from the frame portion so that a second temple distal portion may engage a second ear of the wearer to at least partially support the eyewear while the eyewear is being worn adjacent the wearer'"'"'s face; d. at least one well-being monitoring device that is adapted to monitor the well-being of the wearer of the eyewear, wherein; i. the at least one well-being monitoring device is adapted for tracking the movement of the wearer; and ii. the eyewear is adapted to transmit data regarding the movement of the wearer for use in determining whether the wearer'"'"'s movement is inconsistent with one or more previously-established movement patterns of the individual. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
