A method for monitoring a status of an entity presents an interface for defining status parameters for configuring a monitoring profile, receives input defining status parameters for configuring the monitoring profile, establishes the monitoring profile for a monitored entity based upon the received input defining status parameters for configuring the monitoring profile and executes the established monitoring profile according to the defined status parameters. A processor generates a user interface for receiving input defining status parameters for configuring a monitoring profile, establishes the monitoring profile for a monitored entity based upon the received input defining status parameters for configuring the monitoring profile and executes the established monitoring profile according to the defined status parameters.

A monitoring device, including an encasement having an upper part and a lower part; wherein the lower part is attached by a hinge at a first side of the encasement to the upper part; wherein at an opposite side the upper part can be lowered onto the lower part to close the encasement or lifted up to open the encasement; an elongated strap with a first end and a second end wherein the first end of the strap is attached to the first side of the encasement and configured to enable coupling the monitoring device to a person by wrapping the strap around a limb of a person, and inserting the second end of the strap into the opposite side of the encasement onto the lower part and covering it with the upper part.

The present disclosure relates to integrated systems, methods and apparatuses for assisting individuals in managing acute life-threatening conditions. A system in accordance with the current disclosure may comprise an electronic circuit configured to be attached to a container of a medication and one or more devices in communication with the electronic circuit in a private network. In an aspect, the one or more devices may work in concert to determine the safety level of an individual based on predetermined usage settings. In some aspects, the system may be configured to determine whether a medication would expire before its manufactured expiry date. In another aspect, the system may assist an individual in locating a medication. In a further aspect, the system may determine whether an individual is having an anaphylactic reaction. In some aspects, the system may detect a known allergen and alert the individual.

A wearable device, a non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a control program, and a control method are disclosed. A wearable device comprises a belt and a processor. The belt is to be fastened to a body. The processor determines whether the wearable device is removed from the body. The processor notifies another device of removal of the wearable device from the body when determining the removal.

A wearable device and a system for tracking the wearable device may enhance safety and peace of mind for a parent or caretaker of a child or other individual. The system may include a computing device, such as a smartphone, executing an application that provides alerts based on a distance between the computing device and the wearable device exceeding a threshold distance, based on the wearable device crossing a define geographic boundary, or one or more similar triggers. The wearable device may include an input button that allows a user of the wearable device to send a signal to the computing device of the parent or caretaker. An alert on the computing device might be disabled by pressing the input button on the wearable device.

A tracking and alarm system, including at least one wearable tracking device to be worn around at least a portion of a body of a user, at least one primary receiver connected to the at least one wearable tracking device to receive a location of the at least one wearable tracking device based on a GPS signal, and perform at least one of emit an alarm sound and display an alarm warning thereon, and at least one mobile device connected to the at least one wearable tracking device to receive a location of the at least one wearable tracking device based on a GPS signal, and perform at least one of emit an alarm sound and display an alarm warning thereon.

A tracking device, including a communication interface encased in a encasement with a receptacle on two opposite sides of the encasement, a strap, including one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, links coupled to one side of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a fiber optic cable extending from a first end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets to a second end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets, a head connected to each end of the one or more thin elongated flexible sheets; wherein the heads are configured to fit into the receptacles and lock the strap in the receptacles thus preventing the strap from sliding out of the receptacles; and wherein the communication interface is configured to detect tampering with the strap by transmitting an optical signal through the fiber optic cable.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for providing check-in services for monitored individuals.

Technologies are presented that provide contextually interactive apparel in practical implementations and applications. A method for directing a change in an interface of a wearable device may include detecting a trigger and providing a change command to an interface controller of a wearable device based on the trigger. The interface controller may direct a change (e.g., a change in visual pattern, audio, etc.) in an interface of the wearable device, based on the change command, that is perceivable by persons in proximity of the wearable device. The providing the change command may include providing one or more change commands to a plurality of wearable devices in a choreographed manner. The method may further include determining other wearable devices that exist and/or are being concurrently worn within a predetermined proximity of the wearable device, and providing information regarding the other wearable devices.

Various embodiments provide systems and methods for encouraging progress toward a lower level of monitoring for a monitored individual.
