1. An apparatus for detecting and reporting data relating to the status of an individual, said apparatus comprising:
- a first wearable pod having a minimum hardness of 75 D durometer and having an inner and outer surface, said first pod adapted to be worn by said individual and to avoid interference with the motion and flexibility of said individual'"'"'s body;
a second wearable pod having a minimum hardness of 75 D durometer and having an inner and outer surface, said second pod adapted to be worn by said individual and to avoid interference with the motion and flexibility of said individual'"'"'s body;
a first sensor in physical contact with said first pod that detects physiological data of said individual;
a second sensor in physical contact with said second pod that detects environmental data of said individual;
a processor in electrical communication with said first and second sensors that receives said data from said sensors and determines said individual'"'"'s physiological condition; and
an output device in electrical communication with said processor for communicating at least one of said physiological condition and environment data to said individual.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided to detect the physiological and environmental status of an individual. The apparatus comprises a pod which is worn within a proximity zone of the body such that the mobility and flexibility of the body are not deleteriously affected by the presence of the apparatus. The system permits the dynamic monitoring of human physiological and environmental status data without substantial interference in human motion and flexibility. Sensors and processors are mounted within said pod.
