1. A portable monitoring device (1) for monitoring at least one physical parameter value of a user and transmitting a distress signal on the basis thereof, comprising:

  • at least one measuring means (4, 5) for measuring said at least physical parameter of a user;

    positioning means (6) for satellite based position sensing of said device;

    processing means (8) connected to said measuring means (4, 5) and said positioning means (6);

    radio communication means (10), connected to said processing means (8), for transmitting data and/or speech;

    said positioning means (6) is configured to periodically determine a current position of said device (1), said at least one measuring means (4, 5) is configured to automatically sense said physical parameter value of said user, said processing means (8) is connected to said positioning (6) and said measuring (4, 5) means, and is further configured to read said at least one physical parameter value from said measuring means (4, 5) and to compare said at least one measured parameter value to predetermined threshold values; and

    wherein said processing means (8) is configured to generate said distress signal when said at least one measured parameter value falls outside said threshold values;

    said communication means (10) being configured to transmit said at least one sensed parameter value together with an identifier, along with current position data obtained by said positioning means (6), and said distress signal, respectively.
