Abstract
Methods and apparatuses (e.g., systems, devices, etc.) for close proximity monitoring of subjects, including in particular at-risk psychiatric subjects.
Claims20
A method of close-proximity monitoring of a subject, the method comprising:
- logging in a first observer for line-of-sight monitoring of a subject, wherein the line-of site monitoring includes:
- receiving a signal from a subject-worn beacon;
- determining a proximity between the subject and the first observer from the signal;
- prompting the first observer to record a subject observation at an interval of 15 minutes or less;
- and
- emitting one or more alerts when one or more of:
- the first observer is further than a predetermined range from the subject;
- and the first observer does not record a subject observation within a predetermined observation time;
- logging in a second observer for line-of-sight monitoring of the subject;
- and
- logging the first observer out of line-of-sign monitoring only after the second observer has been logged in.
8 more elements
A system for close-proximity monitoring subjects, the system comprising:
- a subject-worn beacon, wherein the subject-worn beacon is configured to wirelessly transmit a signal and further wherein the subject-worn beacon comprises a tamper-resistant latch that is configured to secured to the subject-worn beacon to the subject so that the subject-worn beacon cannot be removed by the subject;
- a memory comprising computer-program instructions, that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable observer device, perform a computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving the signal in the wearable observer device;
- determining a proximity between the subject and an observer from the signal;
- prompting the observer to record a subject observation at an interval of 15 minutes or less;
- and
- emitting one or more alerts from the observer device when one or more of:
- the observer is further than a predetermined range from the subject;
- and the observer does not record a subject observation within a predetermined observation time.
