Abstract

A personal health monitor, including: (a) a physiological data input device operative to gather physiological data; (b) a detachable module that is detachably connected to a multi-purpose personal data accessory, operative to transmit the physiological data to the multi-purpose personal data accessory; and (c) the multi-purpose personal data accessory, whereas the multi-purpose personal data accessory is adapted to execute health monitoring software such as to enable the multi-purpose personal data accessory to receive the physiological data, process the physiological data to provide processed physiological data and control a long range transmission of the processed physiological data to a remote entity.

Claims

1. A personal health monitor, comprising:

a physiological data input device operative to gather physiological data;

a detachable module that is detachably coupled to a multi-purpose personal data accessory, operative to transmit the physiological data to the multi-purpose personal data accessory; and

the multi-purpose personal data accessory.
