A system includes one or more sensors to detect activities of a mobile object; and a processor coupled to the sensor and the wireless transceiver to classify sequences of motions into groups of similar postures each represented by a model and to apply the models to identify an activity of the object.

A monitoring system includes one or more wireless nodes forming a wireless mesh network; a user activity sensor including a wireless mesh transceiver adapted to communicate with the one or more wireless nodes using the wireless mesh network; and a digital monitoring agent coupled to the wireless transceiver through the wireless mesh network to request assistance from a third party based on the user activity sensor.

A shoe with a pocket or container is disclosed. The shoe is designed to have a pocket for a tracking device such as air tags, smart tags, tile, chipolo or other mobile phone friendly tracking device. The pocket may be incorporated on the back of the shoe. The tracking device such as an AirTag is to be placed in the shoe pocket. The AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the user's Find My network option.

A shoe monitoring assembly includes an article of footwear that is wearable on a user's foot. The article of footwear has a storage pocket that is integrated into a tongue of the article of footwear. A tracking unit is positioned within the storage pocket and the tracking unit is in remote communication with a global positioning system for tracking the speed with which the user moves. A temperature sensor is integrated into the article of footwear to sense the temperature of a support surface upon which the user is walking to determine if the temperature of the support surface is safe to walk upon with bare feet. An accelerometer is integrated into the article of footwear thereby to track the number of steps the user takes.
