Patent ID: 7153262

Claim:
An apparatus for detecting and reporting data relating to at least one of a human physiological and environmental condition, said apparatus adapted to be placed within at least one defined, preselected space proximate to a human body such that said apparatus avoids interference with the motion and flexibility of said human body, said apparatus comprising: a rigid pod having an inner surface adapted to accept an exterior surface of said human body and a convex outer surface, said inner surface of said pod having a convex portion adapted to be received by a generally concave portion of said exterior surface of said human body, said inner surface further having an outer edge, at least a portion of said pod being radiused at said outer edge of said inner surface; at least one sensor detecting at least one of a physiological conditional data point and an environmental conditional data point, said at least one sensor being mounted to said pod; processing means in electrical communication with said at least one sensor for converting said at least one data point from said at least one sensor into at least one of human physiological and environmental status output data; and output means in electrical communication with said processing means for communicating said output data to a user.
