Wearable device and system for monitoring physical behavior of a vehicle operator

A system for monitoring behavior of an operator of a vehicle, comprising:

• a wearable electronic device configured to be worn on the head of an operator of a vehicle, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises an accelerometer and a gyroscope;
• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to:
• receive, from the accelerometer and gyroscope, data that is indicative of motion and orientation of the wearable electronic device,
• process the received data to detect a pattern of motion of the wearable electronic device,
• determine whether the detected pattern of motion corresponds to a pattern of motion of a distracted driver, and
• when the processor determines that the detected pattern of motion of the wearable electronic device corresponds to a pattern of motion of a distracted driver, cause an electronic device to output an alert.
