<p>A method for measuring the movement count of a person being monitored, comparing the measured count with a set value and generating an alarm signal when the measured count is lower than the set value. The monitoring apparatus includes at least one motion sensor (1) and a processing logic unit (2) linked to a telephone module (3) enabling one or more persons to be alerted. Such monitoring meets a number of needs and is particularly useful for extending the independence of elderly persons and minimising their sense of loneliness and isolation.</p> |
