1. An apparatus comprising:
- a delivery device to deliver a medicinal solution to an individual;
at least one sensor of a physiological condition of the individual; and
a communication unit further comprising;
a housing carried or worn by the individual;
control circuits coupled to at least one of the delivery device or the sensor;
location establishing circuitry coupled to the control circuits;
at least one of an audible or visual output device coupled to the control circuits providing an audible or visual notification to the individual of an out of range physiological condition sensed by the at least one sensor;
a manually operable input device disposed on a surface of the housing and coupled to the control circuits, the manually operable input device is activated by the individual in response to the out of range physiological condition and responsive thereto, causes the delivery device to deliver the medicinal solution to the individual; and
an interface, coupled to the control circuits that automatically transmits to a displaced receiver, wirelessly, at least information relative to activation of the manually operable input device and the physiological condition of the individual.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided which enable communications to be initiated locally relative to an individual'"'"'s developing physiological condition and remotely as the condition requires. Physiological sensors and associated medical delivery systems can be coupled to a unit wearable by an individual which can provide various audible or visual outputs and one or more manual inputs indicative of the individual'"'"'s condition. A global positioning unit can be incorporated so that condition information as well as location information can automatically be provided, wirelessly, to a remote monitoring system for follow up as needed.
