    摘要: In example embodiments, a machine, including one or more processors and a memory, tracks, by communicating over a network with a plurality of devices associated with a user, activity of the user. The machine develops, using the one or more processors, an activity model for the user based on the tracked activity of the user. The machine determines, an anomaly in a current activity of the user relative to the developed activity model, the anomaly having a type and a duration. The machine calculates, based on the type and the duration of the anomaly, a confidence value corresponding to whether the user needs assistance and a severity value indicating severity of the user's need for assistance. The machine provides, to an emergency contact and via the network, an alert indicating that the user needs assistance based on the confidence value or the severity value.

    摘要: A stairway safety system and method including movement sensors and/or force sensors, a safety button, a central processing unit, a user notify device configured to generate audio or visual indications prompting the stairway user to engage the safety button, and a communication device configured to send a message requesting help. The central processing unit is configured to measure the length of time between detecting signals from the sensors and also to instruct the first user notify device to generate audio or visual indications when the measured time between detecting the signals is shorter or longer than a stairway user's actual or estimated typical travel time through the stairway. The central processing unit is configured to measure time and to instruct the communication device to send the message requesting help if a safety signal is not detected within a safety time period which indicates a request for help may be needed.
