ABSTRACT:
An object monitoring system and method for monitoring objects and caretakers, for example infants and their mothers. The monitoring system includes object badges; caretaker badges, and monitoring device. Object and caretaker badges transmit signals including a unique identifier. A caretaker badge is associated with an object badge by storing a first associated ID identifying the object badge with a second associated ID identifying the caretaker badge. The monitoring device processes received signals including comparing them with the associated IDs, and indicates an alarm upon failure of a preset condition. Object badges can include tamper-detection devices, and caretaker badges can include alarms activated when an alarm condition exists for an object badge associated with the caretaker badge. The monitoring system can also include location units associated with monitored locations, each location unit transmitting signals identifying any object and/or caretaker badges within its monitored location.
