Abstract: This invention concerns a data processing apparatus (12) for processing ST-segment slope information (ST1, ST2, STX) from an ECG signal from a myocardium of a heart of a human (1) or animal to generate data for one of—an assessment of a risk, a probability or a presence and—a diagnosis of a risk, a probability or a presence of a type of arrhythmia of the heart or a part of it, wherein the data processing apparatus (12) is configured to calculate at least two ST-segment slope values (STS1, STS2, STSX) wherein each of the at least two ST-segment slope values (STS1, STS2, STSX) belongs to ST-segments (ST) from different heart beats (HB1, HB2, HBX) of the same heart, and to derive a ST-segment slope deviation value (1DV, N1DV, S1DV, SN1DV) from at least two ST-segment slope values (STS1, STS2, STSX). The invention further concerns an assessment apparatus (14), and a method for providing data for an assessment and/or a diagnosis of a condition or a disease of at least a part of the myocardium.

Abstract: Method for detecting a tilt fall or a risk of a tilt fall, proposed with the following steps: detecting a center of gravity position of a center of gravity of the human which represents an actual center of mass of the human or an approximation to it, detecting a position of a standing basis of the human or an approximation to it, detecting connection information regarding a spatial connection between the center of gravity and the standing basis, comprising the steps detecting an angular position of at least one lower leg of a leg to the associated thigh and the angular position of the same thigh to the torso and calculating a relative position of an ankle or at least a part of a foot or a footwear of the leg in relation to the center of gravity as connection information, wherein the angular positions between the lower leg and thigh as well as between thigh and torso as well as lengths of the lower leg and the thigh as well as a relative position between the hip joint of the leg and the torso are used, and der

Abstract: The invention concerns a data processing apparatus for processing T-wave information or ST-segment information from an electrical signal from a myocardium of a heart of a human or animal, for an assessment of a condition of at least a part of the myocardium or the whole myocardium, characterized in that the data processing apparatus is configured to derive a T-wave deviation value from a difference of at least two T-wave parameters or ST-segment parameters, wherein each of the two parameters belongs to another T-wave or ST-segment from the same heart.
