Patent attributes
Described herein are systems and methods for automatically detecting a behavior of a monitored individual, for example, that the individual has fallen. In certain embodiments, a system is presented that includes one energy sensor (e.g., a camera of a mobile electronic device) configured to capture reflected energy (e.g., light) within a field-of view; an optional lens to modify the distance or angular range of the field-of-view; and an optional image obfuscator to blur or distort the images received by the energy sensor, thereby preserving privacy. Techniques are described for determining spatial measurements and body measurements from the images and using these measurements to identify a behavior of the monitored individual, for example, a fall.
