A system for monitoring health parameters of a user includes a housing including: a plurality of sensors disposed on an outer surface of the housing or within the housing for measuring a plurality of parameters of interest; a processor disposed in the housing and communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors; a coupling element on the housing for coupling the housing to an accessory; and an accessory identifier positioned on or within the housing and communicatively coupled to the processor. In some embodiments, the housing is reversibly transitionable between an uncoupled state and a coupled state with the accessory. In the coupled state, the accessory identifier senses a type of accessory and the processor activates a subset of the plurality of sensors to measure a subset of the plurality of parameters of interest. In some embodiments, the user is a pregnant female and a fetus developing in the pregnant female.
