Periodic breast self-examination prompting device

A breast self-examination prompting device adapted to remind a user to perform a breast self-examination on a regular basis, the device comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• an electrical circuit at least partially within the housing, the electrical circuit including,
• (1) a proximity sensor adapted to detect the presence of a person, such as the user, within proximity of the device,
• (2) an alarm,
• (3) a controller, the controller adapted to (a) measure first, second and third time intervals, (b) control the operation of the device, and (c) initially activate the alarm when only both (i) the first time interval has expired, and (ii) the presence of the person is detected by the proximity sensor within the second time interval,
• wherein the second time interval is shorter than the first time interval, and the controller is further adapted to begin measuring of the second time interval after the first time interval has expired,
• (4) a first switch electrically coupled with the controller and adapted to cause the controller to start the measuring of the first time interval,
• (5) a second switch electrically coupled with the controller and adapted to cause the controller to at least one of (a) deactivate the alarm and disenable one or both the alarm and the proximity sensor, and (b) deactivate the device;
• and
• (6) a third switch electrically coupled with the controller and adapted to cause the controller to (a) deactivate the alarm and (b) temporarily disenable at least one of the alarm and the proximity sensor for the third time interval, the third time interval being shorter than the second time interval
• wherein if the third time interval expires before the expiration of the second time interval, the controller is adapted to re-enable one or both of the alarm and proximity sensor.
