    Abstract: In a transient ischemic attack (TIA) alerting device, a motion sensor (24) is configured to attach to or be worn by a subject. A wearable electronic data processing device (10) includes a speaker (14), a microphone (16), a radio transmitter (26), and an electronic processor (40). The processor is programmed to perform a TIA alerting method including: detecting a TIA-symptomatic gait type by processing subject motion data acquired by the motion sensor; responsive to detecting the TIA-symptomatic gait type, executing a TIA assessment questionnaire (70) by outputting questions using the speaker and receiving spoken responses using the microphone; determining a TIA assessment based at least on the spoken responses to the questions of the TIA assessment questionnaire; and conditional on the TIA assessment indicating a possible TIA, outputting a TIA alert radio signal using the radio transmitter.

    Abstract: In a personal emergency response system (PERS), a subscriber wears a personal help button (PHB) (10) with a call button (12). A speakerphone console (30) detects a signal transmitted by the PHB when the call button is pressed and establishes a telephone call with a PERS center (8). The PHB, speakerphone console, or combination thereof also performs a check-in process including: detecting (50) a check-in time and outputting (52) a request to perform a check-in action and detecting (54) whether the check-in action is performed. The check-in action is logged (56) if it is detected. A remedial action (60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72) is performed if the check-in action is not detected. The check-in action may be a designated motion of the PHB detected by gesture recognition algorithm performed by the PHB that analyzes sensor data generated by a motion sensor (22) of the PHB.

    Abstract: In a personal emergency response system (PERS), a personal help button (PHB) (10) includes a call button (12), a motion sensor (22), and a transmitter or transceiver (24) for transmitting a wireless call signal responsive to pressing the call button. An electronic processor (28) performs a compliance monitoring process (42) at successive compliance check times, each including: acquiring motion sensor data over a compliance data acquisition time interval; determining whether the PHB has moved since the last compliance check time; and assessing compliance based at least in part on the determination of whether the PHB has moved. The determining may include determining an orientation change of the PHB since the last check time. Alternatively, compliance may be monitored by detecting and logging wake-up interrupt events that cause the motion sensor to switch from a low-power mode to an operational mode.
