1. A Personal Health Care system, comprising;
- a wearable Core Body Temperature (CBT) monitor, including at least one sensor, power supply and communications link, and;
a processor and display provision including a programmable controller, data storage, a display and at least one communications link to the CBT monitor,wherein;
CBT data is collected and compared to at least one of normative or previously stored CBT data, and deviations from predetermined desirable circadian CBT synchrony and oscillation amplitude are detected and analyzed algorithmically to determine activity type and timing to restore circadian behavior, whereby advice to perform the activities at the determined time is displayed.

Abstract
A personal health system which includes a suitable Core Body Temperature (CBT) monitor that can be worn for all or part of a 24 hour day and collect continuous CBT data. The CBT data is collected and compared to determine circadian desynchrony. A conveniently carried or worn processor/display unit, in communication with the CBT monitor, algorithmically determines activity types and activity timing based on the collected CBT data to improve synchrony. The activities and when to perform them are displayed to the user.

8. A computerized method for analyzing and displaying circadian synchrony information for an individual, comprising;
-
acquiring continuous or semi-continuous CBT data from an individual in normal daily activity situations, comparing at least one of;
real time CBT, CBT over an interval, and CBT transition intervals and amplitude, to normative CBT circadian data,displaying the acquired data to allow visual comparison to normative data; and
,providing suggested activities to reduce the desynchrony between the individual'"'"'s actual CBT data and normative. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
