Patent ID: 8924249

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a motion detection component including circuitry for detecting and recording movement of the motion detection component; a display defined to provide a visual indication of an amount of movement recorded by the circuitry; an electrical contact for communication of signals associated with the detected and recorded movement of the motion detection component, the electrical contact defined to communicate signals to a secondary device, the signals associated with one or more of the detected and recorded movement of the motion detection component and a status of the apparatus, the electrical contact defined to be enclosed by a cover, the electrical contact positioned at an end of the apparatus; and a band formed to secure to a part of a human body, the band including the motion detection component, the display, and the electrical contact, 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 human body, the band defined such that upon removal of the force the band returns to the relaxed state to secure to the of the human body, wherein said circuitry is housed in the band.
