A method (1200) for identifying a motion of interest of an individual. The method includes collecting, at a computer (1304), motion sensor input data of motions of the individual from a motion sensor (1302) for an interval of time. The method further includes analyzing, using the computer (1304), the motion sensor input data using an analysis application (1308) having a set of classified predetermined motions of interest. The analysis application (1308) classifies a movement captured during the interval of time as a motion corresponding to one of a plurality of pre-determined motions of interest based on shared relative attributes. The method further includes generating an output providing notice of an identified predetermined motion of interest to a monitoring system (1412).
