1. A system for measuring physiological aspects, the system comprising:
- a non-invasive monitor configured to generate monitor signals relating to fluid characteristics in the body;
a computational device operatively connected to the monitor and configured to process the monitor signals to generate characterising data relating to at least one of regional fluid volumes, intra/extracellular fluid volume ratios and blood flow; and
a data output device connected to the computational device and configured to output the characterising data.

Abstract
A system for measuring physiological aspects has a non-invasive monitor configured to generate monitor signals relating to fluid characteristics in the body. A computational device is operatively connected to the monitor and is configured to process the monitor signals to generate characterising data relating to at least one of regional fluid volumes, intra/extracellular fluid volume ratios and blood flow. A data output device is connected to the computational device and is configured to output the characterising data. A method and a computer program product for measuring physiological characteristics are also provided.
