MULTI-FUNCTION DEVICE FOR ELDERLY OR ILL SUBJECTS LIVING ALONE, ACTING AS A LIFE-SAVING, THEFT-ALARM AND CARER-MONITORING DEVICE

摘要

The invention concerns a method and a device to control any emergeny conditions connected with the mental/physical conditions in which said subject lives, for the purpose of preventing individual and/or community risks tied to such conditions. Said method comprises the steps of: a) collecting information from sensors and/or apparatuses detecting and controlling the conditions of the 'mental /physical state' of health of the subject, any 'critical environmental conditions' present in the place where the subject lives, and the 'correct behaviour of any persons assisting the subject'; b) confirming or annulling, through a manual actuator, any possible critical conditions detected by said sensors and/or control apparatuses, concerning the mental/physical state of the subject and/or the environment; c) automatically introducing, in case the critical conditions detected should be confirmed, said information into an electronic central data processing unit in order to process a coded warning signal; d) releasing a consent to the forwarding of said coded signal to the telephone network towards destinations selected on the basis of the coding of said signal.
