Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating patient self-measuring and recording are provided. In some embodiments, an exhalation pressure of a patient may be measured via a pressure transducer during a time period associated with an examination. A graphical component (indicating the exhalation pressure measurement) may be presented on a display such that the graphical component is continuously updated in real-time, as the exhalation pressure is being measured, until at least the end of the time period associated with the examination. Another graphical component (indicating a remaining time of the time period) may be presented on the display such that the other graphical component is continuously updated in real-time, as the exhalation pressure is being measured, until at least the end of the time period associated with the examination. A heart rate of the patient may be measured via electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes during the time period associated with the examination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for recording and presentation of physiological parameters, which can include both blood pressure and heart pulse. Information about the heart pulse is derived from a recorded blood pressure signal, whereby the need for e.g. an external ECG measurement device is eliminated. It is likewise a part of the invention that a blood pressure measurement is used for the derivation of data such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and/or baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasonic system for measuring a micro-vascular flow distribution of a tissue portion of a mammal comprising an ultrasonic transducer (101) arranged for measuring a first indicator (MTT) for the blood flow through a capillary bed in the tissue portion, and arranged for measuring a second indicator of heterogeneity (CTTH, ?) of the blood flow in said capillary bed, and a processor (110) arranged for using the first (MTT) and the second (?) indicator to estimate an extraction capacity (EC) of a substance from the blood in said capillary bed.
