1. Apparatus for measuring a biological parameter of an individual, said apparatus comprising:
- measuring means (4) for measuring the biological parameter;
computing means (7) for computing a range of normality values of said parameter as a function of data specific to the individual; and
a display (3) that is integrated into said apparatus and is connected to said computing means for graphic representation (14) of the measured parameter relative to a representation axis (15), characterized in that said computing means is operative to adjust the position of the graphic representation of said measured parameter on said display with respect to a reference zone on said display representing the computed normality range, the reference zone being delimited to one side and the other of said axis by a fixed mark (m, M) in combination with at least one adjacent digital indication (30,31,32).

Abstract
The invention concerns an apparatus for measuring a biological parameter of an individual comprising measuring means, means for storing and/or for computing values of said parameter connected to a display (3) for graphic representation of the measured parameter relative to a representation axis. The invention is characterized in that said display (3) is designed to adjust the measured parameter relative to a reference zone delimited on either side on said axis by a fixed mark combined with at least an adjacent digital indication.
