System for generating periodic reports, generating trend analysis, and intervention in accordance with trend analysis from a detection subsystem for monitoring daily living activity
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for monitoring a user in a user living area, said system including a remote monitoring site, comprising:
- a system controller;
an activity detection subsystem for monitoring a daily living activity of the user independently of physiological measurements, said activity detection subsystem having at least one detector device capable of being activated in response to said occurrence of said daily living activity and capable of determining at said user living area that said daily living activity has occurred to provide to the system controller information representative or said daily living activity, said system controller having a control circuit for generating a control signal in response to said daily living activity information;
a control information communication channel for applying said control signal to said remote monitoring site;
a report generator for generating a scheduled periodic reports on daily living activities, said reports having collections of said information representative of selected daily living activities;
a generator for generating a trend analysis in accordance with said reports of said information on said daily living activities; and
means for intervening in said user living area in accordance with said trend analysis.

Abstract
A system is provided for monitoring a user in a user living area. The system includes a system controller and an activity detection subsystem. The activity detection subsystem monitors a daily living activity of the user and provides information representative of the daily living activity to the system controller. The system controller includes a control circuit which generates a control signal in response to the daily living activity information obtained by the activity detection subsystem. Control information from the system controller is applied by way of a control information communication channel both to the activity detection subsystem and to a remote monitoring site. The activity detection subsystem may be a system for determining the movement of the user around the home, medication compliance by the user, problems with usage of stoves or other potentially dangerous appliances, and selected auxiliary appliances.
