Abstract

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for encouraging progress toward a lower level of monitoring for a monitored individual.

Claims

1. A monitoring system, the monitoring system comprising:

a central monitoring station including a computer readable medium and a processor, wherein the computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the processor to;

receive a first tracking input from a user attached monitor device securely attached to a monitored individual;

store the first tracking input to a historical database, wherein the historical database includes at least a second tracking input received from the user attached monitor device at a time prior to receipt of the first tracking input; and

use a combination of at least both the first tracking input and the second tracking input to define a status of the monitored individual.

2. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the status of the monitored individual is a behavioral trend, and wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further executable to:

select a message corresponding to the behavioral trend; and

transmit the message to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

3. The monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the user attached monitor device includes a tamper detection circuit operable to indicate an attempt to remove the user attached monitor device from the monitored individual, wherein the user attached monitor device includes at least one of a display and an audio speaker.

4. The monitoring system of claim 3, wherein the message is selected from a group consisting of:

a graphical message provided to the monitored individual via the display, an audio message provided to the monitored individual via the audio speaker, and a combination of a graphical message and an audio message provided to the monitored individual via a combination of the display and the audio speaker.

5. The monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the behavioral trend is a positive behavioral trend, and wherein the message is selected to reinforce the behavioral trend.

6. The monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the behavioral trend is a negative behavioral trend, and wherein the message is selected to counter the behavioral trend.

7. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the status of the monitored individual is an experience exposure, and wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further executable to:

determine a self-monitoring level for the monitored individual based at least in part on the experience exposure.

8. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein determining the self-monitoring level for the monitored individual is based at least in part on a combination of the experience exposure and a first behavior of the monitored individual after receiving the first tracking input and a second behavior of the monitored individual after receiving the second tracking input.

9. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further executable to:

transmit parameters corresponding to the self-monitoring level to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

10. The monitoring system of claim 9, wherein at least a subset of the parameters are warning parameters.

11. The monitoring system of claim 7, wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further executable to:

transmit an indication of the self-monitoring level to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

12. The monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the instructions executable by the processor are further executable to:

determine the occurrence of a violation;

determine whether to send a warning of the violation to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual; and

transmit the warning of the violation based upon determining to send the warning of the violation.

13. A method for transitioning a monitored individual to a lower level of monitoring, the method comprising:

receiving a series of tracking inputs at respective times from a user attached monitor device attached to a monitored individual;

storing each of the series of tracking inputs to a historical database; and

using a combination of at least two of the series of tracking inputs to define a progress status of the monitored individual.

14. The method of claim 13, the progress status of the monitored individual is a positive behavioral trend, and wherein the method further comprises:

selecting a message to reinforce the positive behavioral trend; and

transmitting the message to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

15. The method of claim 13, the progress status of the monitored individual is a negative behavioral trend, and wherein the method further comprises:

selecting a message to instruct the monitored individual in a way to reverse the negative behavioral trend; and

transmitting the message to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the progress status of the monitored individual is an experience exposure, the method further comprising:

determining a self-monitoring level for the monitored individual based at least in part on the experience exposure.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein determining the self-monitoring level for the monitored individual is based at least in part on a combination of the experience exposure and a first behavior of the monitored individual after receiving a first tracking input of the series of tracking inputs and a second behavior of the monitored individual after receiving a second tracking input of the series of tracking inputs.

18. The method of claim 16, the method further comprising:

transmitting a warning parameter corresponding to the self-monitoring level to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

19. The method of claim 16, the method further comprising:

transmitting an indication of the self-monitoring level to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual.

20. The method of claim 13, the method further comprising:

determining the occurrence of a violation;

determining whether to send a warning of the violation to a user detached monitor device associated with the monitored individual; and

transmitting the warning of the violation based upon determining to send the warning of the violation.
