14. A method for measuring the blood pressure of a living being comprising:
-
providing a flexible element having a pressure sensor element and being changeable from a non-stiffened state to a stiffened state; placing the flexible element having a pressure sensor element onto a body part to be measured such that the flexible element assumes a shape adapted to the body part; changing the flexible element to the stiffened state in the assumed shape; measuring the pressure signal over a certain period of time while the flexible element is in the stiffened state; and returning the flexible element to the non-stiffened state. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
