Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002515274
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
In a medical meassuremnet system, measurements can be carried out at a distance from a hospital. Thus the patient is connected to a measuring system comprising measuring sensors and a unit for collecting data comprising a transmitter. The system also comprises a centrally located surveillance unit. The measuring sensors sense various physical and physiological parameters, for example brain activities, actions of the heart, respiration, blood pressure, blood values/tests and body movements. The sensed signals are transmitted to a portable small device of low weight for collecting and/or analyzing data, which is connected to a central surveillance unit, for example via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), a radio system, in particular a cellular radio system, or via a satellite communication. In a preferred embodiment the measuring sensors comprise a preamplifier having an identification circuit. The identification circuit is used for providing each preamplifier with a unique identity. In yet another preferred embodiment a measuring pad for measuring physical and physiological parameters is provided. The measuring pad comprises a film having piezo and/or pyro electrical characteristics, for example a PVF-film (Poly Vinyl Fluoride), or any other sensor having similar properties. By using such a film, which can convert movements into an electrical signal several advantages are achieved.
