For estimating a person's age and for providing an emergency alarm function, a stationary pressure sensitive means (2, 3, 4) contacts part of that person's (1) body, and generates a signal in correspondence to that person's body movements relative to said means. A detector/filter circuit (5) connected to said means, separates signals corresponding to true body movements, heartbeat-related body movements, and respiration-related body movements. Calculation and comparison circuits (6, 9; 7, 10; 8, 11) are adapted to receive these signals and compare them with previously received signals to determine possible changes. A correlator (12) correlates the output signals from the calculation and comparison circuits to produce a resulting change signal which is compared with a preset threshold in a threshold detector circuit (13). The output signals can be used for activating/inactivating an air-bag system or for triggering an emergency alarm via a mobile telephone and a GPS system.
