Apparatus for detecting, receiving, deriving and displaying human physiological and contextual information
DCFirst Claim
1. An apparatus for monitoring human status parameters of an individual, comprising:
- a sensor device, said sensor device being in electronic communication with at least two sensors continually generating data at least one of a first and second parameter of an individual during non-sedentary activities, wherein said first and second parameters are produced by at least one of said individual'"'"'s body and the environment adjacent to said individual'"'"'s body; and
an I/O device in electronic communication with said sensor device, said I/O device receiving data of said first parameter and data of said second parameter from said sensor device, at least one of said first parameter and said second parameter being physiological, said I/O device in electronic communication with a processor, said processor generating derived data using said data of said first parameter and said data of said second parameter, said derived data comprising a third parameter of said individual, said third parameter comprising caloric expenditure data and being an individual status parameter that cannot be directly detected by any one of said at least two sensors, said I/O device comprising a displaying means displaying information related to said third parameter.

Abstract
A monitoring apparatus that includes a sensor device and an I/O device in communication with the sensor device that generates derived data using the data from the sensor device. The derived data cannot be directly detected by the associated sensors. Alternatively, an apparatus that includes a wearable sensor device and an I/O device in communication with the sensor device that includes means for displaying information and a dial for entering information. Alternatively, an apparatus for tracking caloric consumption and caloric expenditure data that includes a sensor device and an I/O device in communication with the sensor device. The sensor device includes a processor programmed to generate data relating to caloric expenditure from sensor data. Alternatively, an apparatus for tracking caloric information for an individual that utilizes a plurality of classification identifiers for classifying meals consumed by the individual, each of the classification identifiers having a corresponding caloric amount.
