ABSTRACT:
A device for mounting on the wrist of an individual. The device includes a motion-sensing element that is coupled to and starts a timing unit when the wrist is moved--as in raising an utensil of food to the mouth. The timing unit is coupled to a signal generator that it actuates after a given interval of time. The signal generator actuates an annunciator unit, in contact with the wrist of the individual, that produces a tangible sensation on the wrist of the individual to advise the individual that it is time for more food, and that the cycle can be repeated. The tangible sensation may be a physical prodding or and electrical stimulus, but it must not be apparent to anyone but the individual. The given interval may be adjusted to the needs of the individual.
