Abstract: A measuring device for the non-invasive measurement of physiological parameters is suited to detect and localize by way of self diagnosis diseases such as, for example, inflammations, tumors or arteriosclerosis. The measuring device includes at least one optical measuring unit, an evaluation unit processing the measuring signals, and a unit for the acquisition of local tissue parameters such as fat content, water content and/or blood perfusion. The evaluation unit is 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 enables the non-invasive determination of the glucose concentration.

Abstract: Measurement device and method for noninvasive determination of at least one physiological parameter, the device comprising a diagnostic sensor unit (1) for generating measurement signals, and an evaluation unit for processing the measurement signals. The diagnostic sensor unit (1) comprises at least one pressure sensor (3) which detects the pressure exerted locally onto the pressure sensor (3) by a body tissue which is to be examined. The evaluation unit is configured to derive at least one physiological parameter from the measurement signal of the pressure sensor (3).
