Abstract
In a personal emergency response system (PERS), a subscriber wears a personal help button (PHB) () with a call button (). A speakerphone console () detects a signal transmitted by the PHB when the call button is pressed and establishes a telephone call with a PERS center (). The PHB, speakerphone console, or combination thereof also performs a check-in process including: detecting () a check-in time and outputting () a request to perform a check-in action and detecting () whether the check-in action is performed. The check-in action is logged () if it is detected. A remedial action () 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 () of the PHB.
