1. A method for communicating data, comprising:
- collecting data associated with a mammal using an accelerometer, wherein the accelerometer is operable to monitor activity associated with the mammal; and
communicating the data to a computing device, wherein the accelerometer uniquely identifies the mammal, and wherein the accelerometer is configured such that a decision to display the data is executed by an administrator of the accelerometer, wherein the accelerometer is configured to provide feedback based on a combination of the collected data and additional data that is unique to the mammal, the additional data being associated with a profile of the mammal.
