Abstract
A monitoring and notification system provides for monitoring of people based on a normal activity of a device associated with the monitored people. The monitoring and notification system includes a monitoring and notification device that is coupled to a network. A plurality of terminals are also coupled to the network and the monitoring and notification device monitors any number of the terminals. When an “inactivity event” of the monitored terminal(s) is detected, the monitoring and notification device notifies other ones of the terminals of the inactivity event.
