Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for monitoring subjects is provided having location determining device which provides the location of the subject to a processor. The processor is configured to monitor location with respect to pre-defined safety or security related limits including geographical boundaries, and to alert concerned individuals so that proper corrective action may be taken. The geographical boundaries may be programmed remotely by authorized personnel via a communication link. Additionally, processor inputs may be coupled to other systems, equipment or sensors in order to monitor operational variables or outputs of the coupled devices indicative or safety or security concerns. Furthermore, processor outputs may be coupled to other systems, equipment, or output devices, in order to actuate the coupled devices. Moreover, the processor has memory to enable storage and retrieval of data generated or received by the processor. Additionally, the device may be configured to provide interactivity with the user to allow user correction of adverse conditions within a designated time period before the recording and or transmission of the adverse conditions for review by a monitoring authority.
