Device For Detecting The Gravity Of An Illness
First Claim
1. A device for determining the severity of an illness, wherein at least one sensor for the noninvasive measurement of at least one signal that is dependent on the autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system of a person is connected to an evaluation device, where the evaluation device has a calculation unit for converting the signal to a state parameter as well as an index-determining device for determining at least one cumulative system parameter, and where a comparison device that analyzes the index by considering other parameters of the person is connected to an output device for the determined severity of the illness.

Abstract
The device is used to detect the gravity of an illness of a living being and the method is used to control the corresponding detection device. At least one sensor (1) for non-invasive measurement of at least one signal dependent upon the autonomous regulation of the cardiovascular system of the living being is connected to an evaluation device (2). The evaluation device (2) is provided with a calculation unit (4) for converting the signal into a state parameter. The evaluation unit also has an index determining device (6) for determining at least one cumulative system parameter. A comparison device (8) that analyses the index while considering other parameters of the living being is connected to an output device (9) for generating the detected gravity of the illness.
