An apparatus for identifying a type of motion and condition of a user is disclosed. One apparatus includes a motion detection sensor operative to generate an acceleration signature based on sensed acceleration of the user, and a controller. The controller is operative to determine what network connections are available to the motion detection device, match the acceleration signature with at least one of a plurality of stored acceleration signatures, wherein each stored acceleration signatures corresponds with a type of motion of the user, wherein the apparatus distributes at least some of the acceleration signature matching processing when processing capability is available to the motion detection device though available network connections, and identify the type of motion of the user and identify a condition of the user based on the matching of the acceleration signature.
