Breast self-examination prompter device

A self-examination prompter device for the purpose of prompting a user to perform a self-examination on a regular basis, the self-examination prompter device comprising:

• a housing with a first switch for starting a first time interval;
• a micro-controller received inside said housing, said micro-controller keeping track of the first time interval;
• a motion sensor received in said housing and connected to said micro-controller, said motion sensor capable of detecting the presence of the user;
• an electrical circuit with a power source, said electrical circuit connected to said motion sensor, said micro-controller and said first switch;
• an alarm adapted to signal the user that the first time interval has expired, said alarm being connected to said electrical circuit;
• a first visual indicator for indicating the first time interval on said housing, the first visual indicator being connected to said electrical circuit;
• and
• a second visual indicator for indicating a second time interval on said housing, the second visual indicator being connected to said electrical circuit, wherein said second time interval is a twenty eight day time interval and said first time interval is 7 days.

A breast self examination prompter device comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• an electrical circuit at least partially within the housing, the electrical circuit including,
• (1) a motion sensor adapted to detect the presence of a person within proximity of the sensor;
• (2) a first indicator;
• and
• (3) a micro-controller, the micro-controller is adapted in at least one operational mode to measure a first interval of time and activate the first indicator only after both (i) the first interval has passed, and (ii) the presence of the person is detected by the motion sensor.

• an electrical circuit at least partially within the housing, the electrical circuit including,
• (1) a motion sensor adapted to detect the presence of a person within proximity of the sensor;
• (2) a first indicator;
• and
• (3) a micro-controller, the micro-controller adapted to measure a first interval of time and activate the first indicator after (i) the first interval has passed, and (ii) the presence of the person is detected by the motion sensor;
• and
• wherein (a) the electrical circuit further comprises one or more switches adapted to signal the micro-controller, (b) the one or more switches are adapted to select the first interval of time from a plurality of time intervals, and (c) the plurality of time intervals also include a second interval of time, the first interval of time being about 7 days, and the second interval of time being one of about 28 days and about 30 days.

A device for prompting a person to perform a breast self-examination, the device comprising:

• a motion sensor;
• an alarm;
• a micro-controller operatively coupled to the alarm and the motion sensor, the micro-controller adapted to (1) measure a predetermined first span of time, (2) measuring a second span of time beginning after the fist span of time has passed, and (3) activate the alarm after (i) the first span of time has passed, and (ii) the presence of the person is detected by the motion sensor before the second span of time passes, the second span being shorter than the first span;
• and
• wherein the first span is one of about seven days, about 28 days and about 30 days, and the second span is about five days.
