A detecting, monitoring and reporting system includes a sensor device which generates data indicative of physiological parameters of an individual and data derived therefrom when placed in proximity with the body. A remote central monitoring unit generates analytical status data from the data indicative of physiological parameters, the derived data, and analytical status data that has previously been generated. A data storage device stores the data received and generated by the central monitoring unit. The system includes means for establishing electronic communication between the sensor device and the central monitoring unit, and means for transmitting the data to a recipient. The sensor device may also generate data indicative of contextual parameters of the individual, which may then be used when generating the analytical status data. The system may be used for monitoring and providing feedback relating to the degree to which an individual has followed a suggested routine.
