INITIATING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION IN RESPONSE TO DETECTING BIO-FEEDBACK SATISFYING AN ALERT CONDITION
First Claim
1. A method implemented in a portable electronic device coupled to a body of a user, comprising:
- monitoring biofeedback from the body of the user through a monitoring device disposed within the portable electronic device;
detecting that the monitored biofeedback satisfies an alert condition; and
initiating an operation to cause a wireless transmission of an emergency communication to an emergency station in response to detecting that the monitored biofeedback satisfies the alert condition.

Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and program for initiating emergency communication in response to detecting bio-feedback satisfying an alert condition. A portable electronic device is coupled to a body of a user to monitor biofeedback from the body of the user through a monitoring device disposed within the portable electronic device. Detection is made that that the monitored biofeedback satisfies an alert condition. An operation is initiated to cause a wireless transmission of an emergency communication to an emergency station in response to detecting that the monitored biofeedback satisfies the alert condition.
