1. A method for monitoring status of a person, said method being performed at least in part by a monitoring server, said method comprising:
- acquiring status information of the person being monitored, the status information being acquired using at least one electronic device, and the status information including at least health information of the person;
obtaining at least a first threshold condition and a second threshold condition for use in monitoring the person;
determining, at the monitoring server, whether an action condition exists by comparing the health information with at least one or both of the first threshold condition and the second threshold condition; and
initiating an action when said determining determines that the action condition exists,wherein the action includes sending a notification to at least one recipient,wherein the status information further includes location information of the person being monitored, andwherein at least the first threshold condition is dependent on the location information of the person being monitored, such that the first threshold condition is set to a first level when the person is at a first location, and the first threshold condition is set to a second level when the person is at a second location.

29. A method for monitoring status of a person, said method being performed at least in part by a monitoring server, said method comprising:
-
receiving status information of a person being monitored, the status information being provided by a status-aware mobile device adapted to be affixed to the person, the status information including at least a location of the status-aware mobile device and a health condition of the person; obtaining at least one threshold condition to be applied, the at least one threshold condition being able to be influenced by or for the person; determining, at the monitoring server, whether a notification should be provided to the person based on at least the health condition of the person and the at least one threshold condition; generating a notification based on the location and the health condition if said determining has determined that a notification should be provided; and providing the notification to the person, wherein the at least one threshold condition is dependent on an activity associated with the person, such that the at least one threshold condition used by said determining is set to a first level when the person is engaging in a first activity, and the at least one threshold condition is set to a second level when the person is engaging in a second activity, and wherein the activity associated with the person is based on at least the location of the status-aware mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31)
