Apparatus and process for reading radiation reflected from human skin
First Claim
1. An apparatus for reading radiation from human skin and processing it for diagnostic purposes, comprising:
- reading means (10), for reading a main electromagnetic radiation (100) from an individual'"'"'s skin;
at least one dispersive element (20), being connected downstream of the reading means (10) to separate the main radiation (100) into at least two portions (110) with different wavelengths;
a transducer block (30), designed to receive the portions (110) of the main radiation (100) and to generate at output a corresponding transmission signal (120), representing the portions (110);
a processing block (50), being connected downstream of the transducer block (30) and designed to calculate a predetermined number of physiological parameters characteristic of the individual'"'"'s skin, according to the transmission signal (120);
characterised in that it further comprises an actuator (70) attached to the reading means (10) and designed to cover the reading means (10), preventing them from reading the main radiation (100) from the individual'"'"'s skin.

Abstract
An apparatus for reading radiation from human skin and processing it for diagnostic purposes comprises reading means (10), for reading a main radiation (100) from an individual'"'"'s skin, and a dispersive element (20), for separating the main radiation (100) into a plurality of portions (110) with different wavelengths. The apparatus (1) also has a transducer block (30), for receiving the portions (110) and generating a corresponding transmission signal (120), representative of the portions (110), and a processing block (50), which, according to the transmission signal (120), can calculate a predetermined number of physiological parameters characteristic of the individual'"'"'s skin.
