The invention relates to a method for providing medical care to an individual in the event of suddenly occurring health disorders, wherein physiological normal values of the individual are stored in an analysis unit (2), at least one current physiological measurement value is measured by means of a sensor (1a) paired with a body contact module (1) and is converted into physical signals or readable data which is compared with the stored normal values. In the event of current measurement values which lie within specified tolerance limits of the stored normal values relating to the person, the analysis unit (2) outputs a warning signal in response to an impending health disorder, as the case may be, in order to prompt the individual to perform activities suitable for returning the current measurement values to the optimal normal values, - in the event of deviations of the current measurement values which lie outside of the tolerance limits but are not yet threatening, an alarm signal is output together with recommendations stored in the analysis unit (2) for standalone activities until competence centers (4a, 4b, 4c) notified by the central unit (3) intervene, - in the event of life-threatening deviations of the measurement values detected by the sensor from the normal values, an emergency signal together with a specification of the deviations and the location of the individual is transmitted to a central unit in which the data of competence centers has been stored as a comprehensive service network and which transmits an emergency signal relating to the clinical picture and the location of the individual to at least one competence center. The invention is characterized in that prior to transmitting an emergency signal, a verification step is carried out, in which an internal sensor compares the life-threatening deviations with past measurement values and only then transmits the emergency signal if the life-threatening deviations cannot be attributed to a short-term mo
