1. A system for long term monitoring of least one of the following physiological parameters:
- respiration, heart rate, body temperature, electrical heart activity, blood flow velocity, blood pressure, intracranial pressure (ICP), presence of emboli to the brain and other parts of the body or other blood flow-related irregularities, such as stenoses or vasospasm, electrical brain activity, and blood oxygen composition or partial pressure (O2, CO2) comprising at least one noninvasive data acquisition device for acquiring data relating to at least one of the physiological parameters communicating with at least one data recording and storage device for recording and storing data relating to one of the physiological parameters.

Abstract
Methods and systems for long term monitoring of one or more physiological parameters such as respiration, heart rate, body temperature, electrical heart activity, blood oxygenation, blood flow velocity, blood pressure, intracranial pressure, the presence of emboli in the blood stream and electrical brain activity are provided. Data is acquired non-invasively using ambulatory data acquisition techniques.

2. A method for long term monitoring of embolic events in the bloodstream comprising acoustically scanning a tissue volume including a carotid artery and acquiring scanning data relating to the acoustic properties of the tissue volume, selecting at least one desired target carotid artery vessel site based on the scanning data, insonifying the at least one desired target carotid artery vessel site and acquiring acoustic data from the at least one insonified target carotid artery vessel site, and recording, storing and monitoring the acquired acoustic data to identify embolic events.
