Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: detecting and recording movement of a person using an apparatus including a motion detection component including circuitry for detecting and recording movement of the motion detection component; providing a visual indication on a display of the apparatus of an amount of movement recorded by the circuitry; and communicating electrical signals from the motion detection component through an electrical contact to a secondary device, the electrical signals associated with the detected and recorded movement of the motion detection component, the electrical contact defined to be enclosed by a cover, the electrical contact positioned at an end of the apparatus, wherein the motion detection component, the display, and the electrical contact are included within a band formed to secure to a part of the person, the band comprising a flexible material, the band defined such that the band is in a form of a coil in a relaxed state, the band defined such that the band is deformable upon application of a force to the band to enable positioning of the band around the part of the person, the band defined such that upon removal of the force the band returns to the relaxed state to secure to the part of the person, wherein said circuitry is housed in the band.
