1. Apparatus for storing and managing personal and secured data and documentation files associated with a specific user, comprising:
- a plurality of biometric sensors for reading a plurality of personal biological biometric identification parameters of the user holding the apparatus, said plurality of biometric sensors being integrated within the apparatus;
at least one life signs detector integrated within the apparatus, said life signs detector being configured to measure and record at least one of said user'"'"'s life sign parameters;
a first storage unit for the storage of said user'"'"'s data and documentation files;
an authentication unit comprising a second storage unit, with said second storage unit configured to store a pre-recorded set of personal biological biometric identification parameters uniquely associated with the specific user, wherein said authentication unit is configured to compare the plurality of personal biological biometric identification parameters of the user holding the apparatus with the pre-recorded set of personal biological biometric identification parameters stored in said second storage unit;
a processor in communication with said plurality of biometric sensors, said first storage unit and said authentication unit;
wherein access to the personal data and documentation files stored in said first storage unit is only enabled after said authentication unit positively matches each of the plurality of personal biological biometric identification parameters of the user holding the apparatus with the pre-recorded set of personal biological identification parameters stored in said second storage unit; and
wherein, whenever any of said at least one life signs detector detects a critical level of said user measured life sign parameters, the apparatus is configured to prevent access to said user'"'"'s personal data and documentation files stored in said first storage unit.

Abstract
A system, method and personal apparatus for managing highly secured personal data is provided. The system and the personal apparatus are complementary, both providing highly secured personal data, mass, safe and secured data access, storage and management solutions, while serving the needs for managing and exchanging secured personal data with external services and data providers and with other such highly secured personal data users. The apparatus may be used independently of the system by securely connecting the apparatus to service providers. The apparatus, which is uniquely identified with a unique user, includes a sensor module comprising a plurality of biometric sensors for reading a plurality of personal biological identification parameters of the user and an authentication unit for positive authentication of the user'"'"'s personal biological identification parameters stored in the authentication unit. The system is designed to securely serve the needs of conducting and maintaining multiple users'"'"' personal data access, storage, updating and retrieval capabilities. The method supports the safe and secured operation of the apparatus by its owner, in order to get access to the system and to exchange highly secured personal data with external pre-registered service providers and with other registered system users.
