  • Patent number: 9480423
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diagnostic measuring apparatus for non-invasively detecting at least one physiological parameter of the human body. The measuring apparatus comprises: —a continuum emitter (110) for emitting first electromagnetic radiation, the spectrum of which has a continuum extending over a wavelength range, —a bearing area for bearing a human body part (100) on the measuring apparatus, wherein the bearing area is designed such that the body part (100) is irradiated with the first electromagnetic radiation, wherein the first electromagnetic radiation is emitted by transmission, scattering and/or reflection as second electromagnetic radiation from the tissue of the body part (100), —a detector (102; 104) for detecting at least one spectral component of the second electromagnetic radiation, —a spectral decomposition unit (106; 114; 116; 402) for spectrally selecting wavelength ranges of the first and/or second electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 9060700
    Abstract: The invention relates to a medical measuring device having an impedance measurement unit (100) for detecting an impedance measurement signal from the skin surface (200) of a patient to be examined via at least one measurement electrode pair (3). According to the invention, the distance between the electrodes of the measurement electrode pair (3) is from a few millimeters to several centimeters such that, during the measurement process, both electrodes of the measurement electrode pair (3) for locally detecting the impedance measurement signal contact the same region of the skin surface (200) of the patient at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8428673
    Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring device (1) for the non-invasive measurement of physiological parameters. The measuring device (1) is suited to detect and localize by way of self diagnosis diseases such as, for example, inflammations, tumors or arteriosclerosis. The invention proposes a measuring device (1) with at least one optical measuring unit (100) for the generation of oximetric and/or plethysmographic measuring signals, an evaluation unit (140) processing the measuring signals, and a unit (120, 130) for the acquisition of local tissue parameters such as fat content, water content and/or blood perfusion, with the evaluation unit (140) being designed such that at least one local metabolic parameter is determined, in particular the local oxygen consumption, from the signals furnished by the optical measuring unit and obtained from tissue parameters. Moreover, the measuring device (1) enables the non-invasive determination of the blood glucose level.
