Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring position of a measuring unit when placed on a person, the system comprising:
- a drive unit generating a magnetic field oscillating at a predetermined frequency adapted to be positioned on an opposite side of the person, wherein the measuring unit is adapted to measure a magnetic field strength;
calculating means for calculating a distance between the measuring unit and the drive unit, wherein the drive unit includes a secondary magnetic field sensor measuring a the generated field strength; and
adjustment means adjusting an input to the drive unit until the generated field strength obtains a the predetermined strength at the secondary magnetic field sensor, thereby reducing influences of metal objects in the surroundings.
