Patent Images
1. A device for measuring at least one physiological parameter of a subject in addition to blood pressure, comprising:
- (a) a band for being fastened to a hand of the user;
(b) a blood pressure cuff for being associated with said band;
(c) at least one additional sensor for measuring at least one additional physiological parameter of the user; and
(d) a monitor and control unit (MACU) for controlling said blood pressure measurement and said measurement of said at least one additional physiological parameter of the user and for receiving a signal from said sensor and a signal from said blood pressure cuff and for converting said signals to form medical information.

Abstract
A wrist-mounted device (100) for measuring at least one physiological parameter of the user. The present invention enables such a measurement to preferably be transformed into clinically useful information about the user. Such information may then optionally be sent to medical personnel, for example at a contact and/or monitoring center. The measuring parameters may include blood pressure, ECG, location. The present invention can perform a Holter process over more than one physiological parameter.

21. A system for measuring at least one physiological parameter of a subject and also blood pressure, comprising:
-
(a) a device for measuring the at least one physiological parameter and blood pressure, comprising;
(i) a blood pressure cuff for being fastened to a wrist of the user;
(ii) at least one additional sensor for measuring at least one additional physiological parameter of the user;
(iii) a processor for receiving a signal from said sensor and a signal from said blood pressure cuff and for converting said signals to form data;
(iv) a communication unit for at least transmitting data; and
(b) a gateway device for receiving said transmitted data for being monitored. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
