Abstract

A kit that can include one or more sensors that can be in communication with one or more contact devices. The kit can ensure that infants are breathing and that at least one caregiver receives an alert when an infant stops breathing. The kit can also provide alerts and alarms when other acquired data is not within predetermined value ranges.

Claims

1. A kit for monitoring a person, the kit comprising:

a. a sensor adapted to communicate with at least one communication device and a last resort user device, wherein the sensor communicates with the last resort user device upon determining that communication with the at least one communication device failed;

b. at least one device for removably attaching the sensor to an item; and

c. a data storage in communication with the sensor comprising a set of computer instructions;

wherein the set of computer instructions comprises;

(i) computer instructions to form a database of preset ranges;

(ii) computer instructions to allow modification of the preset ranges;

(iii) computer instructions to compare data acquired from the sensor to the preset ranges, forming a compared value;

(iv) computer instructions to create a report comprising information about at least one of the following;

1. data acquired from the sensor;

2. the preset ranges;

or

3. the compared value;

(v) computer instructions to transmit the report to the at least one communication device; and

(vi) computer instructions to transmit the compared value to the at least one communication device.

2. The kit of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of additional sensors adapted to communicate with the at least one communication device;

wherein the at least one communication device is selected from the group;

a house alarm system;

a cell phone;

a personal computer;

a pager;

a land line; and

another communication device.

3. The kit of claim 2, further comprising computer instructions to transmit the report to the at least one communication device.

4. The kit of claim 2, wherein the plurality of additional sensors are in simultaneous communication with the at least one communication device.

5. The kit of claim 4, wherein the plurality of additional sensors are independently monitored by the at least one communication device.

6. A kit for monitoring a person, the kit comprising:

a. a sensor adapted to communicate with a communication device and a last resort user device, wherein the sensor communicates with the last resort user device upon determining that communication with the communication device failed;

b. a device for removably attaching the sensor to an item; and

c. a set of computer instructions comprising;

(i) computer instructions to form a database of preset ranges, wherein the preset ranges are preset carbon dioxide limits, and wherein the preset carbon dioxide limits are determined by an age of an infant, a weight of the infant, a gender of the infant, an ethnicity of the infant, or combinations thereof;

(ii) computer instructions to allow modification of the preset ranges;

(iii) computer instructions to compare data acquired from the sensor to the preset ranges, forming a compared value;

(iv) computer instructions to create a report comprising information about at least one of the following;

1. data acquired from the sensor;

2. the preset ranges;

or

3. the compared value;

(v) computer instructions to transmit the report to the communication device; and

(vi) computer instructions to provide selective transmission of the compared value to the communication device.

7. The kit of claim 6, wherein the communication device is in communication with another communication device independent of the kit.

8. The kit of claim 7, further comprising computer instructions to transmit the report to each of the communication devices.

9. The kit of claim 6, further comprising a plurality of sensors in communication with the communication device.

10. The kit of claim 9, wherein the plurality of sensors are independently monitored by the communication device.
