Abstract
A system is provided for that sends firmware updates from a telemetry system to a monitoring device. One or more sensors are coupled to a monitoring device that has a unique user ID. The one or more sensors acquire user information selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors and habit information. ID circuitry at the monitoring device includes ID storage, a communication system that reads and transmits the unique ID from an ID storage, a power source and a pathway system to route signals through the circuitry and elements to enable installation of a firmware update. A telemetry system is in communication with the one or more sensors. The telemetry system includes a database of user ID's. The telemetry system in operation provides the firmware update to the monitoring device.
