  • Publication number: 20170188941
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for non-invasively monitoring a sedated or anesthetized person (10) comprising a pain-stimulus-generating device (7), a measuring device (2) for capturing a saliva amylase value (S(t)) of the person (10), a control device (4), and an output device (5), wherein the control device (4) is designed in such a way that the control device controls the pain-stimulus-generating device (7) in order to produce a thermal pain stimulus (R), and that, alter the pain stimulus (R) has been produced, the control device (4) captures the saliva amylase value (S(t)) and outputs an output value (A) by means of the output device (5), wherein the output value (A) is the saliva amylase value (S(t)) or a value dependent on the saliva amylase value (S(t)).

  • Patent number: 8939921
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting hand force or hand pressure includes a longitudinally extending hollow body having an upper fixed end part, a lower fixed end part and a longitudinally extending spacer element that keeps the upper end part and the lower end part mutually spaced apart. The hollow body includes a flexible outer cover which connects the upper end part to the lower end part such that a closed inner space is formed within which the spacer element is also arranged. The outer cover is can be at least partly surrounded by a hand, and the inner space of the hollow body contains a gel, elastic multicomponent or liquid material which acts as a pressure transmitter. A pressure measuring apparatus extends at least partly in the inner space in the longitudinal direction to transmit the pressure from the outer cover via the pressure transmitter to the pressure measuring apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7473214
    Abstract: A training device for training the pelvic floor muscles of a human, which can be externally placed on the human body and can be connected to feedback units that produce feedback signals, such as vibrations. The training device is, at least on one side, aligned with the pelvic floor, can be compressed and can be axially deformed on its sensor side. A pressure force sensor unit of the training device can be positioned during the operation in such a manner that the ischial tuberosities of the pelvic floor can be situated on both sides on the pressure sensor unit, and a gravitational force component passing through the pelvic floor acts upon the pelvic floor training device, making a precise measurement of the exertion on the pelvic floor possible.
