COMBINATION SENSOR FOR DETERMINING PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS ON THE SKIN OF A PATIENT
First Claim
1. A combination sensor for determining physiological parameters on skin of a patient, the combination sensor comprising:
- a sensor carrier which can be mounted on the patient;
sensors integrated in said sensor carrier for determining different physiological parameters of the patient through the skin of the patient;
a measured signal processing unit for processing sensor signals of said sensors, said measured signal processing unit being integrated in said sensor carrier to provide processed sensor measured data;
a communications unit integrated in said sensor carrier for wireless transmission of the processed sensor measured data; and
an electrical energy source integrated in said sensor carrier for supplying energy to one or more of said sensors, said processing unit and said communications unit arranged in said sensor carrier.

Abstract
A combination sensor for the simultaneous use of different sensors for determining physiological parameters on the skin of a patient. The combination sensor includes a sensor carrier (1) which can be mounted on the body of the patient. Sensors are integrated in the sensor carrier for determining different physiological parameters of the patient through the skin of the patient. A measured signal processing unit (9) is provided for the sensors integrated in the sensor carrier (1). A communications unit (6) is integrated in the sensor carrier (1) for the wireless transmission of the processed sensor measured data. An electrical energy source (7) is integrated in the sensor carrier (1) for the energy supply of the components arranged in the sensor carrier (1). This combination makes possible a largely undisturbed accessibility to the patient in routine clinical practice.
