Abstract

Monitoring health status of a user may be performed by an apparatus that includes a sensor adapted to generate sensor data, a memory adapted to store a plurality of baseline biological markers for a user, wherein the plurality of baseline biological markers include respiratory rhythm, and a processor coupled to the memory and the sensor. The processor is adapted to, in response to detecting that the user is performing physical activity, determine a biological marker from the sensor data. The processor is adapted to compare the biological marker with the baseline biological marker. The processor is further adapted to, in response to detecting a change in the biological marker, provide a notification indicating a change in health status.
