Patent number: 9839357Abstract: An eavesdropping arrangement for acquiring a measured physiological variable of an individual includes a receiver and a communication interface in a housing separate from the receiver. The communication interface is positioned along a communication link between a first sensor, which is configured to measure aortic blood pressure and to provide a signal representing measured aortic blood pressure, and a central monitoring device configured to monitor the measured aortic blood pressure. The communication interface includes a connection to the communication link that permits the communication interface to eavesdrop on the signal representing measured aortic blood pressure such that information representing measured aortic blood pressure is sent to the receiver while allowing the central monitoring device to receive and use the signal representing measured aortic blood pressure.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: ST.

Publication number: 20150238081Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method of measuring a physiological variable in a body. A basic idea of the present invention is to measure a physiological variable in a body by means of employing a sensor which is arranged to be disposed in the body for measuring the physiological variable. The sensor must be provided with a supply voltage in order to be operable. Therefore, a control unit disposed outside the body provides this supply voltage to the sensor. The control unit also receives, from the sensor, via a wired connection, signals that represent the physiological variables that are measured. The control unit is arranged with a communication interface and a modulator for wireless spread spectrum communication of the measured physiological variables for presentation purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2015Publication date: August 27, 2015Applicant: ST.
