Monitoring device
First Claim
1. An electronic monitoring device for monitoring, at a remote location, activities of a person suffering from dementia, autism, mental retardation, or a psychiatric related disorder, the device being worn around a wrist of the person being monitored, the device comprising:
- a housing having a front face and a back face;
a reversible closure member;
at least one strap connected to the housing and the reversible closure member for fastening the device around the wrist of the person being monitored, wherein the closure member requires at least two hands to be opened;
at least one tamper sensor for detecting tampering with or removal of the device from the person'"'"'s wrist;
at least one sensor for sensing at least one of a health state and an activity state of the monitored person;
an electronic circuitry enclosed within the housing, the circuitry including a microprocessor and a memory device for receiving and processing data, and a transmitter for periodically transmitting data, the data including data collected by the at least one sensor; and
a time display, coupled to a clock mechanism, mounted in the housing so as to be displayed at the front face of the housing.
