1. An apparatus for monitoring and processing biological parameters of a user, comprising:
a biological monitoring device, adapted to be worn by the user, that monitors heart rate data of the user and generates biological data based on the heart rate data, wherein the biological monitoring device comprises,
a. At least one embedded sensor, wherein the at least one embedded sensor obtains the heart rate data of the user when the user wears the biological monitoring device;
b. A display located on the biological monitoring device;
c. An interface device in signal communication with the embedded sensor via a wired communication link, wherein the interface device comprises at least one processor and memory that is associated with the at least one processor and configured to store data and software instructions, which, when the software instructions are executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising;
i. Establish, via the at least one processor, a bi-directional wireless communication link with an external bio-metrically secured mobile communication device,
ii. Obtain, via the at least one processor, configuration information from the external bio-metrically secured mobile communication device to program characteristics of at least one of the functionality and the display of the biological monitoring device;
iii. Obtain data, via at least one processor, from the at least one embedded sensor;
iv. Generate, via the at least one processor, the heart rate data responsive to the obtained sensor data;
v. Processing, via the at least one processor, the heart rate data over a period of time when the at least one processor is triggered by at least one of an event associated with monitoring the heart rate data and a threshold level associated with monitoring the heart rate data while the user is wearing the biological monitoring device, wherein the processing that occurs when the at least one processor is triggered includes analyzing the heart rate data to determine at least one of an irregular heart rate, an abnormal heart rate, and an irregular heart rhythm indicative of a health condition of the user;
vi. Generate, via the at least one processor, resultant data based on the processing of the heart rate data, wherein the generated resultant data is at least one of a notification associated with the health condition of the user wearing the biological monitoring device and heart rate profile data of the user wearing the biological monitoring device;
vii. Present, via the display, at least one of the generated resultant data and the processed heart rate data to the user while the user is wearing the biological monitoring device;
viii. Store, via the memory, the heart rate data and at least one of the processed heart rate data, and generated resultant data; and
ix. Communicate, via the bi-directional wireless communication link, the heart rate data and at least one of the processed heart rate data, and generated resultant data to the external bio-metrically secured mobile communication device.
