Abstract: A measurement device (1) for measuring at least one vital parameter is provided. The measurement device (1) comprises a base body (2), a fixing means (10) and at least one sensor (5). The at least one sensor (5) is mounted in a damped manner, in particular actively damped, by a means for pressure regulation (7) in the base body (2), in particular in a recess (3) of the base body (2). Furthermore, a measurement system with a measurement device (1) according to the invention, a method for determining a pressure with which the sensor (5) of the measurement device lies on the skin of the patient, a method for measuring at least one vital parameter and a use of the measurement device for determining at least one vital parameter are provided.
