1. A system for monitoring the health status of a human, comprising:

  • an ambulatory device disposed to receive multiple biological parameters from a plurality of sensors attached to a monitored human;

    a computer disposed to obtain monitored observations of multiple biological parameters from said ambulatory device; and

    a computer-accessible memory for storing a set of exemplary observations of said multiple biological parameters characteristic of the behavior of said multiple biological parameters under normal health conditions for the monitored human;

    said computer being specially configured to generate an estimate of at least one of said multiple biological parameters in a monitored observation obtained from said ambulatory device, as a linear combination of at least some of said set of exemplary observations, determined from a kernel-based comparison of the monitored observation and at least some exemplary observations; and

    said computer being further specially configured to compare said estimate to the corresponding value of the at least one of said multiple biological parameters in said monitored observation, to generate a residual, and make a determination of the health status of the human there from.
