    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device, system and method for determining pulse pressure variation of a subject. To enable more reliably determining pulse pressure variation of a subject the device comprises a signal input (11) configured to obtain an input signal representing a hemodynamic signal of the subject, a processor (12) configured to process the input signal and compute a pulse pressure variation and a signal output (13) configured to output the computed pulse pressure variation. The pulse pressure variation is computed by deriving a pulse height signal from the input signal, deriving a pulse height baseline and a de-trended pulse height signal from the pulse height signal as the ratio between the difference between extrema of the de-trended pulse height signal and the respective value of the pulse height baseline signal, and computing the pulse pressure variation from the de-trended pulse height signal and the pulse height baseline.

    Abstract: The invention provides a magnetic inductive sensing system for sensing electromagnetic signals emitted from a body in response to electromagnetic excitation signals applied to the body. The electromagnetic signals are generated and sensed by the same loop resonator which comprises a single-turn loop antenna and a tuning capacitor. The loop antenna of the resonator and a signal generation means for exciting the resonator to generate excitation signals are together configured so as to optimize the value of a ratio between the radial frequency of the generated electromagnetic excitation signals and a reference frequency of the antenna, where the reference frequency is the frequency for which one wavelength of the generated excitation signals (waves) matches the circumferential length of the antenna. This ratio, which corresponds to a normalized radial frequency of the generated excitation signals, is maintained between a value of 0.025 and 0.50.

    Abstract: There is provided a measurement apparatus for estimating a value of a physiological characteristic of a subject. The apparatus comprises a radio-frequency (RF) power generating apparatus, a detector, and a controller in communication with the RF power generating apparatus. The RF power generating apparatus comprises a transmit antenna for emitting RF radiation; an RF signal generator; and a transmission line connecting the RF signal generator to the transmit antenna. The detector is arranged to measure the variation of at least one parameter correlated with attenuation of the emitted RF radiation, during the measurement period. The controller is arranged to: cause the RF power generating apparatus to emit RF radiation during a measurement period; receive measurements of the variation of the at least one parameter from the detector; and calculate a value of a physiological characteristic of a subject based on the received measurements.

    Abstract: An inductive sensing system (8) is adapted to apply electromagnetic excitation signals into a body, the system comprising a resonator circuit (10) incorporating a loop antenna (12). The system senses signals returned back from the body with the same antenna, based on variation in electrical characteristics of the resonator circuit. The system is configured for separating signals received from different physiological sources within the body. This is performed based on detecting in the resonator circuit electrical characteristics indicative of both a real and an imaginary part of an additional inductance component added to the antenna by received electromagnetic signals. The separating the signals from different physiological sources is based on relative magnitudes of said detected real and imaginary inductance components added to the resonator circuit by the returned signals.
