Abstract
A computer-implemented method, and related system, for monitoring the wellbeing of an individual by providing eyewear that includes at least one sensor for monitoring the motion of the user. In various embodiments, the system receives data generated by the at least one sensor, uses the data to determine the user'"'"'s movements using the received data, and compares the user'"'"'s movements to previously established movement patterns of the user. If the system detects one or more inconsistencies between the user'"'"'s current movements as compared to the previously established movement patterns of the user, the system may notify the user or a third party of the detected one or more inconsistencies. The system may similarly monitor a user'"'"'s compliance with a medical regime and notify the user or a third party of the user'"'"'s compliance with the regime.

10. A computer-implemented method of monitoring the wellbeing of an individual, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a user with computerized eyewear comprising at least one sensor for monitoring actions taken by a user, the at least one sensor including a forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear and is configured to automatically capture image data; b. receiving, by a processor, a medicine regime associated with the user; c. receiving, by a processor, data generated by the at least one sensor including image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera of the computerized eyewear; d. analyzing, by a processor, the received data generated by the at least one sensor to determine data that identifies; i. types of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear; ii. times the medicine is taken by the user; and iii. doses of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear; e. at least partially in response to analyzing the received data generated by the at least one sensor, comparing, by a processor, the medicine regime for the user to the determined types of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear, times the medicine is taken by the user, and doses of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear; f. detecting, by a processor, one or more inconsistencies between the medicine regime associated with the user and the determined types of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear, times the medicine is taken by the user, and doses of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear; g. at least partially in response to detecting one or more inconsistencies between the medicine regime associated with the and the determined types of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear, the medicine is taken by the user, and doses of medicine taken by the user based on image data automatically captured by the forward-facing camera that is a component of the computerized eyewear, notifying, by a processor, at least one recipient of the detected inconsistencies, where the at least one recipient is selected from a group consisting of;
