Implicit health monitoring via smartphone

A monitoring system for monitoring vital data of a user of a mobile device, the monitoring system comprising

• a processor,
• a memory which operatively cooperates with the processor to store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement
• acquiring environment measurement data in relation to the mobile device by means of a sensor that is fixedly integrated in the mobile device,
• acquiring interaction measurement data of the user with the mobile device by means of a sensor, wherein the sensor is fixedly integrated in the mobile device, and wherein the interaction measurement data are acquired if predefined conditions in relation to the acquired environment measurement data are met,
• storing the interaction measurement data,
• determining trend data on the basis of the acquired interaction measurement data for a configurable time period, and
• generating a signal when a condition is met which is selected from
• exceedance of a first configurable threshold value regarding the determined trend data, and
• exceedance of a second configurable threshold value regarding one of the acquired interaction measurement data,
• in order to monitor the vital data of the user.
