Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and analyzing activities of a person operating a machine, particularly driving a vehicle, is provided. A first magnet is attached to a hand of the person and a second magnet is attached to the head of the person. A smart watch having a magnetometer is attached to the other hand of the person. The magnetometer is in magnetic communication with both the first magnet and the second magnet to generate a first magnetic signal and a second magnetic signal. Both signals can be received by a processor and applied to mathematical models by the processor to generate indicators representative of positions and motions of the hands and the head. An alarm can be generated based on the indicators.
