Wireless communications device and personal monitor

A cellular telephone for monitoring and reporting a human status parameter of an individual, said cellular telephone comprising:

• a. a physiological sensor in electronic communication with a central monitoring unit remote from said cellular telephone, said physiological sensor adapted to generate data indicative of a first physiological parameter of said individual when in proximity to said individual;
• and
• b. an output means,
• wherein said central monitoring unit is programmed to utilize (a) said data indicative of a first physiological parameter of said individual and (b) data indicative of at least one of (i) a second physiological parameter of said individual and (ii) a contextual parameter of said individual to cause said output means to provide output data to a recipient.

A wearable device for monitoring and reporting a human status parameter of an individual, said device comprising:

• a. a housing;
• b. a processing unit supported by said housing;
• c. a wireless communication device supported by said housing;
• d. a physiological sensor supported by said housing and in electronic communication with said processing unit, said physiological sensor adapted to generate data indicative of a first physiological parameter of said individual when said physiological sensor is in proximity to said individual;
• and
• e. an output means in electronic communication with said processing unit,
• wherein said processing unit is programmed to utilize (a) said data indicative of a first physiological parameter of said individual and (b) data indicative of at least one of (i) a second physiological parameter of said individual, and (ii) a contextual parameter of said individual to cause said output means to provide output data to a recipient.
