Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a health condition of an individual. At least one physiological parameter of the individual is measured and measured data is then processed in order to detect a potential danger in the measured parameter. Upon detecting the potential danger, a warning signal representative of the potential danger is generated, and a signal for indicating to the individual to actuate a personal communication unit is provided during a predetermined period of time. Upon actuating the personal communication unit, an information message representative of the warning signal is transmitted to the individual. In the absence of actuating the personal communication unit during the predetermined period of time, data indicative of the warning signal is transmitted to a central monitoring station.
