摘要: A system and method for monitoring the activity level of one or more individuals modifying behavior those based on feedback from is disclosed. When applying to hyperactive children in a classroom environment, an monitor attached each child. The determines intensity subject's at end epoch (approximately every 5 seconds), stores determined intensity, compares threshold. If exceeds threshold, child given vibrotactile by monitor. length time that applied proportional amount presses button thereby request session feedback, compared two different thresholds, three LEDs lit up, depending where comparison thresholds. base station, either simple hand-held device complicated desk-top device, under control teacher has wireless communication link with monitors so information may be downloaded controlled.
