1. A method, comprising:
- providing a sensor operable to measure movement over time on a user, the sensor comprising an alert unit;
configure the sensor with a threshold to activate the alert unit when the measured movement over time is below the threshold;
obtaining measurements of movement over time;
determining whether the measured movement over time is below the threshold; and
activating, at the sensor, when the measured movement over time is below the threshold, the alert unit to alert the user.

Abstract
A method is provided which includes providing a sensor operable to measure movement over time on a user. The sensor includes an alert unit. The sensor is configured with a threshold to activate the alert unit when the measured movement over time is below the threshold. The measurements of movement over time are obtained, and it is determined whether the measured movement over time is below the threshold. When the measured movement is below the threshold, the alert unit at the sensor is activated to alert the user.
