Implantable sensing modules and methods for monitoring various physical parameters, including physical parameters of a living body and environmental parameters to which the living body may be subjected, for example, impacts. A method for monitoring impacts to which a living body is subjected entails the use of an implantable sensing module that has a rigid housing containing at least one energy storage device and at least one electromechanical sensing element that is responsive to impacts. The module generates data corresponding to impacts to which the electromechanical sensing element is subjected, and records the data in memory. The module is preferably implanted in a living body so that the module is connected to a rigid portion of the living body, in particular, a bone or tooth.
