Claim 0:
1. A method of monitoring a health status of a patient via location tracking, comprising:
recording a patient's location information over a first period of time using a global positioning system (GPS) tracking device configured to be located with the patient, wherein the location information includes one or more locations;
determining a baseline of locational data of the patient's location information via a processor and associating the baseline associated with healthy activities;
further tracking the patient's location information over a second period of time using the GPS tracking device configured to be located with the patient;
analyzing the patient's location information over the second period of time with an automated algorithm via the processor to determine movement patterns of the patient; and
comparing the patient's location information over the second period of time against the baseline of locational data via the processor to monitor for a change in behavioral patterns relating to the movement patterns of the patient, where comparisons against the baseline of locational data are automatically analyzed via the processor for indications of an illness of the patient based on a length of time spent by the patient at the one or more locations of the patient's location information over the second period of time.
