1. An apparatus for monitoring physiological status parameters, comprising:

  • at least one ambient temperature sensor configured to continuously generate data indicative of a temperature in an area that is adjacent to skin at a preselected body location; and

    a processor in electronic communication with said at least one ambient temperature sensor, wherein said processor is adapted toreceive at a least a portion of said data indicative of the temperature in the area, andutilize said received data to detect movement of said skin at the preselected body location, and wherein said at least one ambient temperature sensor is at least one ofa worn device, andthe apparatus further comprising an additional sensor in electronic communication with said processor, said additional sensor generating data indicative of at least one of a contextual parameter of said skin at the preselected body location and a physiological parameter of said skin at the preselected body location.
