  • a housing with an adhesive material operable to removably attach said housing to the individual;

    a first sensor mounted within said housing, said first sensor operable to generate movement-related data of the individual;

    a second sensor mounted within said housing, said second sensor operable to generate data related to a change in resistance across the individual'"'"'s skin; and

    a processing unit mounted within said housing in electronic communication with said first and second sensors, said processing unit programmed to use both of said movement-related from said first sensor and said data related to the change in resistance across the individual'"'"'s skin from said second sensor to derive analytical status data, the analytical status data being generated using an application to convert the movement-related data and the data to calculated indicators, the calculated indicators being indicative of one or more patterns associated with a time period specified by the individual.
