‘oF more embodiments, the deviee is capable of sending the message in response to detecting a change in health status For example, the device may’ send the message in response to detecting an improvement in health status forthe user. In another example, the device may send the message in response fo detecting a decline in health stats forthe user. In another example, the device may send the message in response to detecting either an improvement ofa decline in the health status for the user. In another example, the device may send a message deseribing the detected heals For example, the device may specify any detected change in user PE level and/or any detected chai in ext condition Whether based upon lime or amount of enengy within the message. ‘in panicular embodiments, the degree of change, as determined by the amount of change in the current metric ‘compared tothe historical metric, ean be used to trigger the Sending of the message by the user's device. For example, the device may send a message only in response to detecting 8 change in heafth status of more than a threshold amount. ‘The device may use one theshold amount when evaluating change in inapmvement in health status and another different threshold amount when evaluating change in a decline in health status, Thus, a small change when bealth status declines may trigger the sending of emessage, while w larger ‘change is required whea health status improves to trigger message, In one or more other embodiments, the devie is ‘capable of using different threshold amounts based upon the particular activity that is pecfonmed. For example, smaller ‘changes may trigger the sending of a message when eval atigg health status for everyday activities such as bathing, While lager changes may tigger the sending of a message ‘when evaluating heath status for more rigotous exercise FIG. 5 illustrates another example metho $00 for eval ‘ting health of a user. Method $00 cu be peclormed by device 100 as described herein in connection with FIG. Method $00 is directed to embodiments where the deviee determines one oF mote metrics relating 19 a re-entry eon dition, Further, the user is ether camrying or wearing the ‘device so that the device is capable of measuring 1Wo or tore of the vital signs described herein, In block 508, the device devermines that the user has discontinued activity after the aecureace oF an ext condi tion. In one or more embodiments, the device is capable of automatically determining that the user has discontinued performing the activity, e the aetvity that caused the exit ‘condition o aceur. For example, the device may monitor 16 ageclerometer data andlor GPS data 10 dewemine whether the user has discontinued the activity based upon amount of ‘movement, power output from the accelerometer, or other sensor data. In one oF more embodiments, the device is Capable af receiving data specified by a use input indicating that the user has discontinued the activity In block 10, the device measures each vital sign used in the equilibrium envelope. For example, the device can determine vital signs including, but not limited to, any combination of two or more of heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, beart mate variably, oxygen saturation, and blood ghucose. As discussed, the deviee is capable of detor- ining current measurements of any Wo oe more of the listed vital signe as specified by the equliriam envelope In block $15, the device detects whether a re-entry condition for the equilbrinm eavelope has ooeurred, More particular in block 515, the device is capable of determining ‘whether each of the vital signs is within the range foe that vital sign as specified by the equilibrium envelope. The device determines that a re-entry contion has occurred in response (0 determining that the current measure of each, vital sign ofthe equilibrium envelope is within the range for that vital signs specified bythe equilibrium envelope Ifthe ‘device determines that each ofthe vital sins is within the range for the relevant vital sign per the equilibrium enve- ope, method $00 coatinues to block $20. If the device determines that one oF more of the vital signs is ouside of the range for the relevant vital sign per the equilibrium eavelope, method $00 loops back to bloek $10 to continue ‘measuring vital signs used in the equilibrium envelope. ‘By chocking whether each vital sign of the equilibrium envelope is within rang, the device is capable of detecting conditions where the user is not fully recovered from performing activity. For example, hear rate ofthe user may hhave recovered to a value within the range for heart rate in the equilibrium envelope, while the blood pressure or the respiration forthe user is still outside of the appropriate range per the equilibrium envelope. The user, for example, ‘nay still be “out of breath” ad have a respiratory rate tha exceeds the range ofthe equilibrium envelope. In that ease, the re-enty condition lias not yet eeured for the use. or purposes of illustration, Table 1 illustrates example vital sigs measured fora user as performed for block 310 over time of TH to TS. As an illustrative example, the vital signs may be measured each minute or at some ter time {nerval less than one minute or greater than one minute, The equilibrium envelope may be the same as described above, 4, {(HR: 6-72] (BP: 102-112]; respiratory rate: 14-17] TABLE 1 Tne Wout Ree ene Rein As illustrated, at times TI and T2, each of the vital signs forthe user is outside of the coresponding range per the equilibrium envelope. At time T3, heart rate and respiration are ouside of the corresponding ranges, while blood pres- ‘sre is within the minge for blood presse per the eilib- rium envelope. At time TS, respiration remains out of range, While both heart rate and blood pressure are within the appropriate ranges per the equilibrium envelope. Attime TS,
