1. A pulse monitoring system comprising:
- a monitoring device for monitoring a pulse of an individual, the device being operable to detect a pulse and transmit data related to the detected pulse;
a communication device operable to receive data from the monitoring device and initiate a communication; and
a program product which, when executed, is operable to carry out a method comprising;
receiving data related to the detected pulse;
analyzing the data related to the detected pulse and determining either or both of a heart rate or a heart beat regularity;
determining whether the data are indicative of a heart rate or heart beat outside a predetermined parameter; and
in the case that the data are indicative of a heart rate or heart beat being outside a predetermined parameter, initiating at least one of the following events;
