Method of determining user's life change based on behavioral abnormality starts with processor receiving first location data and first proximity information from first mobile device. First proximity information includes identification of mobile devices within proximity sensitivity radius of first mobile device. Processor determines whether first location data and first proximity information are included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. When first location data and first proximity information is not included, processor determines whether subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined time period is included. Processor signals to monitor life change of user of first mobile device when subsequent location data and subsequent proximity information received from first mobile device over predetermined time period is not included in historical location data and historical proximity information, respectively, associated with first mobile device. Other embodiments are described.
