First Claim
1. A system for identifying and reporting a physiological status of an individual, comprising:
- at least one physiological sensor associated with the body of at least one person generating sensor output signals, wherein the at least one physiological sensor comprises at least two physiological sensors selected from the group consisting of a heart rate sensor, a skin temperature sensor, a skin conductance sensor and a GSR sensor;
a memory circuit containing;

a processor configured to;
(i) receive sensor output signals from the at least two physiological sensors associated with the body of said individual,(ii) apply said at least one stored mathematical operation to said sensor output signals associated with the body of said individual to derive a physiological status of said individual; and
(iii) modify said at least one mathematical operation in accordance with said derivation of said values of said physiological status of said individual such that said at least one modified mathematical operation is weighted to determine a likely conclusion regarding said individual'"'"'s physiological status,wherein said physiological status of said individual is at least one of;
calories consumed and sleep quality.

Abstract
Various methods and apparatuses for measuring a state parameter of an individual using signals based on one or more sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first set of signals is used in a first function to determine how a second set of signals is used in one or more second functions to predict the state parameter. In another embodiment, first and second functions are used where the state parameter or an indicator of the state parameter may be obtained from a relationship between the first function and the second function. The state parameter may, for example, include calories consumed or calories burned by the individual. Various methods for making such apparatuses are also disclosed.
