System and Method for Determining the Blood Pressure of a Patient
First Claim
1. A system (1) for determining the blood pressure of a patient (2), comprisinga blood pressure measuring device (3, 4) for measuring a blood pressure value,an auxiliary device (6, 7, 8, 9) for measuring the motor activity of the patient (2) during a defined period of time prior to the blood pressure measurement, anda processing device (13, 14), said processing device (13, 14) being adapted to obtain the motor activity information and the blood pressure value, said processing device (13, 14) being further adapted to automatically assess the blood pressure value using the motor activity information, and said processing device (13, 14) being further adapted to provide a measuring result depending on the result of the assessment.
