Another very promising tool is the use of the cellular
phone. There was a recent (very recent) article in the
news online that told of how researchers were looking
at using the siganl from celleualr phones to detect if
the owner of the phone is still alive. Apparently, if
the phone is turned on, but not making a call, it
still sends a signal back to the telco. This signal
can be used, if the owner is not moving about, to read
vital signs.
They said this could be used to tell if a person is
still alive.
This could be very cheap and dependable.

I lost the URL, sorry.
