Abstract: A system (1) for hypertension management comprises at least one home blood pressure measuring device (10) for blood pressure measurements of an individual at the individual's home. Furthermore, the system (1) comprises at least one point of care measuring system (20) with a point of care blood pressure measuring device (21). This allows blood pressure measurements at a point or care. The system is provided with data communication means for transferring data from the home blood pressure measuring device (10) to a web server (35) or the point of care measuring system (20).

Abstract: A system (1) for blood pressure measurement at the point of care comprises a blood pressure measuring device (10) for measuring the blood pressure of an individual (I) and seat (20) for properly positioning the individual (I). The seat (20) includes means (21) for ensuring correct position of the individual's feet and legs. The blood pressure measuring device (10) is arranged at a location (12) physically separated from a data collecting device (30). The blood pressure measuring device (10) is provided with a communication interface (11) for transmitting data to the collecting device (30).

Abstract: A measuring system for electronically measuring the volume flow expired and/or inspired by a user, comprises a measuring unit for continuously monitoring the volume flow of air when the user is expiring and/or inspiring, a first memory section for storing data of a reference expiration and/or inspiration volume flow profile and at least a second memory section for storing data of a measured expiration and/or inspiration volume flow profile. A representation of the reference flow profile and the measured flow profile is displayed, which allows a comparison of the profiles.

Abstract: A system and a method for the management or control of cardiovascular related diseases, in particular of hypertension, basically comprises a blood pressure measuring device and means for determining an activity status of the autonomic nervous system. In particular, this status is determined on the basis of heart rate variability or on the basis of a composition ratio of granulocytes and lymphocytes in leukocytes of the individual.

Abstract: A blood pressure self-monitoring device includes an alarm generator to remind the patient to carry out blood pressure measurements according to a predetermined schedule. The device performs a specific phase of measuring blood pressure according to a clinically validated criterion, and calculates an accurate blood pressure reading on the basis of plural measurement values. The device also has a therapeutic decision mode, which can monitor blood pressure for assessing the effect of antihypertensive drug treatment. In the extended mode, the alarm generator works according to a predetermined daily measurement to remind the patient to take a blood pressure measurement following drug intake. Also during the treatment phase, the antihypertensive drug may affect the probability of irregular heartbeat, which can be a reference index for assessing the types and doses of treated antihypertensive drug. The device can also use a selectable switch to operate as a regular home blood pressure monitor.

Abstract: A method and a system for teaching and guiding an individual and changing the lifestyle and in building up a health or healthier behaviour includes the step of making a basic assessment of the individual and of defining at least one program to which the individual should attend on the basis of this assessment. The program includes at least teaching, guiding and actively involving the individual and individually gathering personal objective information represented by at least one health indicator. The individual is taught in accordance with a specific learning program in view of understanding a relationship between the objective information and a phenomenon or symptom caused by pathology or functional deficiency. The individual is further taught and guided to understand the effect of specific behaviour and lifestyle on the pathology or functional deficiency.

Abstract: A system for measuring the value of at least one parameter and for processing or storing these values is provided with a body parameter measuring device and a computer program product. The body parameter measuring device has a sensor for measuring the body parameter and a processing unit for treating an electrical signal corresponding to this parameter. The body parameter measuring device is provided with a communication interface for communication with an external calculating device. The computer program product is used to cause the external calculating device to receive data from the body parameter measuring device and to store or treat this data.

Abstract: A system for monitoring medical data of a patient comprises at least one central computer and at least one terminal device for measuring and storing medical data. The terminal device has a communication interface for exchange of data with the central computer. Computer readable program means can be loaded from the central computer into the terminal device.

Abstract: A blood pressure monitor serves at the same time for measuring and displaying blood pressure values and for determining a risk rate (L, M, H, V) for suffering from a cardiovascular disease for a specific user. The blood pressure monitor comprises in addition to a conventional measuring unit (2) a user input interface (5, 6a, 6b, 14), which allows the user to enter predetermined risk factors. The data relating to the risk factors are stored in memory (7). A calculating unit (8) calculates a risk rate on the basis of the data and of the blood pressure values. The risk rate may be displayed on a display (9, RR).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microprocessing device which detects, records, analyzes and plots the basal body temperature change in conjunction with calendar rhythmic method through measuring, recording and storing the data of the continuously changing body temperature and the period of duration of a plurality of cycles to set the (birth of babies) under the users' control, and it may act as a digital calender clock with musical alarm device when not used for the aforesaid purposes.
