Apparatus for Detecting Body Condition

A system for monitoring body condition, the system comprising

• a mobile device, comprising:
• a pickup coil of a component of said mobile device arranged to operate as an inductive antenna for receiving a signal indicative of the body condition from a communication unit capable of being worn by the body to be detected, said communication unit including at least one sensor for detecting said signal, and
• a signal detection system for detecting said signal to be separate from signals from other sources,
• a computer arranged to communicate with said mobile device via a communication network so that the body condition is remotely monitorable via the computer.

A method for detecting body condition, the method comprising

• detecting a signal indicative of the body condition,
• sending said signal indicative of the detected body condition,
• inductively receiving said signal by a pickup coil of a component of a mobile device,
• detecting said signal so that said signal is identifiable from another signal further operating said component for operating said mobile device, and
• operating said mobile device by said component.
