A system for measuring physiological parameters includes a housing mounted to an exterior body surface of a user. The system includes at least a sensor attached to the housing and contacting the exterior body surface at a locus on a head of the user, the at least a sensor configured to detect at least a physiological parameter and transmit an electrical signal as a result of the detection. The system includes an alert circuit communicatively coupled to the at least sensor, the alert circuit configured to receive at least a signal from the at least a sensor, generate an alarm as a function of the at least a signal, and to transmit the alarm to a user-signaling device communicatively coupled to the alert circuit.
