Publication number: 20140335796Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a monitoring system is capable of monitoring the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) of one or more persons occupying a building. The monitoring system includes an information handling system having a radio-frequency (RF) scanner capable of scanning the RF ambient environment of the building. When an individual uses devices in the building that emit RF signals or emissions, the RF signals are detected by the RF scanner and analyzed by the information handling system. The characteristics of the detected RF signals are compared to a database of signature of known devices. If a detected RF signal matches the signature of a known device, the use of the device is logged into a database for ADL analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2014Publication date: November 13, 2014Inventors: Donald R.

Patent number: 8441371Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method of a health monitoring network which automates detection of faulty or failed sensors using realt-time fault checking on a dynamically registered sensor data stream. The monitoring system and sensor network can provide a one-touch system to notify users when a sensor requires attention, without prior knowledge of the operational characteristics, installation method or configuration of sensors in the network. The network uses a decision engine to assist in maintenance according to a profile based on individual preferences and capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Intel-GE Care Innovations LLCInventors: Benjamin Kuris, Donald R. Denning, Jr., Steven M. Ayer

Publication number: 20110213938Abstract: A personal sensing device that may be used for storing personal data and sensed data arbitrates and prioritizes competing requests for memory access from sensing, wireless, and wired interfaces. The personal sensing device enables power efficiency with burst-writes to the memory at higher data rates then an incoming sensor data stream without risk of data loss. Sensing operations coordinated by reconfigurable control logic are partitioned from storage operations coordinated by a multi-port memory controller. The interface between the functional partitioning uses message passing, status/control registers and buffering to reduce or eliminate system interdependencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2011Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: Intel-GE Care InnovationsLLCInventors: Benjamin KURIS, Donald R.

Patent number: 7427266Abstract: A method and apparatus keeps track of ingestible objects (such as pills or food items) ingested by humans or animals. The objects are supplied with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags encoding data describing the objects. The humans or animals ingesting the objects are equipped with RFID sensors for detecting, decoding, and archiving the data encoded in the tags. A user may scan the body of the human or animal subject with a sensor to determine if a tagged object has been ingested. The tags may be covered with substances or contain elements that dissolve upon entering a digestive system. This allows detection of ingestion and also allows the RFID tag encoding to change in the course of digestion.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2003Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Steven M.
