IMPAIRMENT DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring impairment indicators, the method comprising:
- measuring, with a movement sensor associated with a person, a first signal related to movement of the person during a first time window;
electronically storing at least one numerical descriptor derived from the first signal as reference data for the person;
measuring, with the movement sensor associated with the person, a second signal related to movement of the person during a second time window;
comparing at least one numerical descriptor derived from the second signal to the reference data as a factor to identify an impairment indicator.

Abstract
A method for monitoring impairment indicators, the method includes measuring, with a movement sensor attached to the person, a first signal related to movement of a person during a first time window and electronically storing the at least one numerical descriptor derived from the first signal as reference data for the person. The method further includes measuring, with the movement sensor attached to the person, a second signal related to movement of the person during a second time window and comparing at least one numerical descriptor derived from the second signal to the reference data as a factor to identify an impairment indicator. The present disclosure also includes a device for monitoring impairment indicators.

11. A device for monitoring impairment indicators, the device comprising:
-
a housing configured to be associated with a person; a processing unit disposed in the housing comprising a processor and a movement sensor; wherein the movement sensor measures a first signal related to movement of the person during a first time window; wherein the processor stores at least one numerical descriptor derived from the first signal with the activity label as reference data for the person; wherein the movement sensor measures a second signal related to movement of the person during a second time window; and wherein the processor compares at least one numerical descriptor derived from the second signal to the reference data as a factor to identify an impairment indicator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
