Device and Method for Measuring Physiological Parameters
First Claim
1. A device for measuring physiological parameters of a biological being comprising:
- at least two spaced apart electrodes at least one of which is in contact with the biological being for providing a bio-potential measurement including a low frequency AC voltage and/or a DC voltage in which one of said at least two electrodes is a reference electrode providing a reference for said DC voltage, wherein said low frequency AC voltage and/or DC voltage of said bio-potential measurement is used to determine said physiological parameters.

Abstract
Device and method for measuring physiological parameters of a biological being comprising: at least two spaced apart electrodes at least one of which is in contact with-the being for providing a bio-potential measurement including a low frequency AC voltage and/or a DC voltage wherein one of the electrodes is a reference electrode providing a reference for the DC voltage, the low frequency AC voltage and/or DC voltage measurement used to determine the physiological parameters. The device can be built in many forms (e.g. a wrist watch, torso strap, grip, etc); can measure physiological parameters including those related to diabetes (BGL), cardiovascular, organ, tissue, brain and neural function, local and limb metabolic condition, pharmacokinetic, pharmaco-dynamics and psychological conditions, temperature, or combination thereof and their trends. The device can include an automatic alarm system for warning a patient of an out of tolerance condition.
