Abstract

A method for monitoring the activities of a user within a selected environment, which comprises monitoring and reporting the condition of a user in a selected environment, monitoring the time, frequency and duration of use of each of a plurality of selected elements, selected from a plurality of physiological measurements of the user and a plurality of non-physiological measurements from the selected environment, a repeating hub for receiving data from each of the selected elements, transmitting the data from the repeating hub to a central processing unit, analyzing the data received by the central processing unit to establish a pattern of user behavior and normal-use parameters for each of the plurality of selected elements, and signaling beyond the selected environment when at least one selected element exceeds the normal use parameters being monitored.
