Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a plurality of transmitter identifications at a client device carried or worn by a subject, the transmitter identifications transmitted to the client device by a plurality of transmitters positioned in respective discrete areas of an interior space occupied by the subject, each received transmitter identification indicative of the client device and the subject occupying a respective one of the discrete areas, each of the received transmitter identifications being received by the client device from a respective transmitter of the plurality of transmitters when the client device is within the respective discrete area wherein the respective transmitter of the plurality of transmitters is positioned; acquiring lifespace data for the subject, the lifespace data indicative of a measurement of the subject's functionality within the discrete areas based on the received transmitter identifications including at least a first received transmitter identification indicative of the client device and the subject being within proximity of a first transmitter and a second received transmitter identification indicative of the client device and the subject being within proximity of a second transmitter, the first transmitter being positioned within a first discrete area and the second transmitter being positioned within a second discrete area different from the first discrete area, the lifespace data including the transmitter identifications and timestamps indicating times when the transmitter identifications are received by the client device; transmitting the lifespace data from the client device to a remotely located server, the server configured to provide the lifespace data for at least one of an analysis or an intervention; receiving positioning information indicating a geographical location for the subject, and a timestamp indicating a time when the positioning information is received; and transmitting the positioning information to the server only when the timestamp indicating the time when the positioning information is received does not match the timestamps indicating the times when the transmitter identifications are received by the client device.
