Method of user monitoring of physiological and non-physiological measurements

A method for detecting the position and movement of a user within a selected environment, which comprises:

• a) a first motion detector for detecting at least a portion of a user along a horizontal plane forming a lower zone extending between the floor and a first middle position selected from eighteen inches to twenty-four inches above the floor;
• b) a second motion detector for detecting at least a portion of a user along an upper zone extending in a horizontal plane from a second middle position selected from thirty inches to forty-eight inches above the floor, and extending to an upper position selected from 70 inches to the ceiling of the selected environment;
• and
• c) a middle zone extending between the first middle position of the lower zone, and the second middle position of the upper zone;
• and
• d) at least one transmitting means for transmitting the data from a selected motion detector to central processing unit.

A method of user monitoring, for monitoring and reporting the condition of a user in a selected environment, which comprises:

• a) a monitoring means for monitoring the time, frequency and duration of use of each of a plurality of selected elements, selected from sensors monitoring at least one physiological measurement of the user, comprising the User's blood pressure, the user's heart rate, the user's body temperature, the user's body weight, and the user's blood glucose level;
• and from sensor's monitoring at least one non-physiological measurement from the selected environment further comprising the room temperature, ammonia from spilled urine, methane from spoiling food, the presence of smoke, water usage, the user's movement, and the use of selected appliances;
• b) a reporting means for transmitting the data from each of the monitoring means to a repeating hub;
• c) a transmitting means for transmitting the data from the repeating hub to a central processing unit;
• d) an analyzing means for 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 element;
• and
• e) a signaling means selected from at least one of the following:
• a printing means, a synthesized voice signaling means;
• a telephone message signaling means, and a video monitoring means, whereby
• the signaling means is used for signaling beyond the selected environment when at least one selected element exceeds the normal-use parameters being monitored.

A method of user monitoring, for monitoring and reporting the condition of a user in a selected environment, which comprises:

• a) a monitoring means for monitoring the time, frequency and duration of use of each of a plurality of selected elements, selected from sensors monitoring at least one physiological measurement of the user, comprising the user's blood pressure, the user's heart rate, the user's body temperature, the user's body weight, and the user's blood glucose level;
• and from sensor's monitoring at least one non-physiological measurement from the selected environment further comprising the room temperature, ammonia from spilled urine, methane from spoiling food, the presence of smoke, water usage, the user's movement, and the use of selected appliances;
• b) a transmitting means for transmitting the data directly from each of the monitoring means to a central processing unit;
• c) an analyzing means for 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 element;
• and
• e) a signaling means selected from at least one of the following:
• a printing means, a synthesized voice signaling means;
• a telephone message signaling means, and a video monitoring means, whereby
• the signaling means is used for signaling beyond the selected environment when at least one selected element deviates from the normal-use parameters being monitored.
