Abstract
A telecommunication system for exchanging information concerning personalized parameters of physiological state between a physical person and an information system comprises measuring means for measuring physiological parameters of the physical person; and processing means interconnected with the measuring means and with the information system, for transmitting to the information system at least input signals corresponding to the physiological parameters acquired by the person and for transmitting to the physical person output information corresponding to those received in return from the information system. The telecommunication system allows a dialogue between the physical person and the information system to control his/her own physical condition in a scientifically accurate and personalized manner.
