First Claim
1. A modular system for monitoring health parameters of a user, the modular system comprising:
- a housing reversibly transitionable between an uncoupled state and a coupled state with an accessory, the housing comprising;
a plurality of sensors disposed on an outer surface of the housing or within the housing for measuring a plurality of parameters of interest;
a coupling element positioned on the outer surface of the housing for coupling the housing to the accessory;
an accessory identifier positioned on or within the housing, wherein the accessory identifier senses a type of accessory when the housing is in the coupled state with the accessory; and
a processor disposed in the housing and communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and the accessory identifier, wherein a method performed by the processor comprises;
receiving a plurality of sensor outputs from the plurality of sensors;
analyzing the plurality of sensor outputs from the plurality of sensors;
automatically determining a type of accessory coupled to the housing based on said analysis and the accessory identifier;
automatically activating, upon coupling the housing to a specific accessory, a subset of the plurality of sensors based on said determining;
measuring a subset of the plurality of parameters of interest of the user using the activated subset of the plurality of sensors, wherein the activated subset of the plurality of sensors or the subset of the plurality of parameters of interest are customized to the user based on the coupling of the housing to the specific accessory; and
processing the subset of the plurality of parameters of interest to extract health related information, wherein the processing comprises analysis of measurements customized to the user.

Abstract
A system for monitoring health parameters of a user includes a housing including: a plurality of sensors disposed on an outer surface of the housing or within the housing for measuring a plurality of parameters of interest; a processor disposed in the housing and communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors; a coupling element on the housing for coupling the housing to an accessory; and an accessory identifier positioned on or within the housing and communicatively coupled to the processor. In some embodiments, the housing is reversibly transitionable between an uncoupled state and a coupled state with the accessory. In the coupled state, the accessory identifier senses a type of accessory and the processor activates a subset of the plurality of sensors to measure a subset of the plurality of parameters of interest. In some embodiments, the user is a pregnant female and a fetus developing in the pregnant female.
