1. A dosimetry device for use in an ambient environment, the device comprising:

  • a housing configured to be secured to at least one location on a person such that the person is wearing or carrying the housing in the ambient environment;

    at least one sensor at least partially disposed within the housing and accessible to the ambient environment, the at least one sensor being configured to derive a plurality of parametric signals from either a) acceleration readings generated from movement of the person, or b) pressure readings generated from perturbations propagating in the ambient environment, resulting from an identified event;

    at least one memory device disposed within the housing, the at least one memory device including a plurality of memory locations, the plurality of memory locations being configured to store personal medical history data of the person that is wearing or carrying the housing in the ambient environment, aggregate medical history data, and parametric data corresponding to the plurality of parametric signals;

    a control circuit disposed in the housing and coupled to the at least one sensor and the at least one memory device, the control circuit being configured to tailor and adjust an individualized injury threshold for the person based on the personal medical history data and the aggregate medical history data and store the tailored and adjusted individualized injury threshold prior to the identified event, and the control circuit being further configured to provide in real time an injury risk assessment corresponding to the identified event by determining whether one or more of the plurality of parametric signals exceeds the stored individualized injury threshold for the person; and

    at least one input/output (I/O) device coupled to the control circuit, the at least one I/O device being configured to provide the injury risk assessment in response to an assessment analysis request, whereby medical treatment of the person is guided according to the injury risk assessment that is provided by the I/O device, when the one or more of the plurality of parametric signals exceeds the stored individualized injury threshold for the person.
