    摘要: For obtaining a sequence of mutually comparable measurement results, it is desirable to position a number of electrodes on a patient body (10) at substantially the same position for each measurement. As such measurements may be performed every day, it is desirable for a patient to be able to perform the measurement at home, for example. The present invention provides a method and system (100) for enabling a not medically trained person to position the electrodes at substantially the same position for each measurement. The method comprises capturing an image (126) of the patient (10) and comparing the image (126) with a reference image (128). In the reference image (128), the electrode positions (130) are indicated. The electrode positions (130) of the reference image (128) are superimposed on the image (126) of the patient (10). An indicator system (134) indicates the position (130) of the electrodes such that the patient (10) may position the electrodes correctly.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detection of respiration of a patient comprising the following steps: emitting an electromagnetic signal towards the patient; receiving a reflected electromagnetic signal reflected from the patient; converting the reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a first signal; phase-shifting the reflected electromagnetic signal and converting the phase-shifted reflected electromagnetic signal, yielding a second signal; determining a first vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common first point in time; determining a second and vector being defined by the time derivatives of the first signal and the second signal, for a common second point in time; and calculating the scalar product of the normalized first vector and the normalized second vector as an indicator value for a change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa. A change from expiration to inspiration of the patient or vice versa is preferably indicated if the indicator value is below a threshold value, preferably below a value of 0. In this way, a possibility for contactless remote respiration monitoring of a patient based on the Doppler radar principle is provided which is reliable and easy to handle.

    摘要: The invention concerns an apparatus, system, wearable apparatus and concomitant processing system to detect instants in time at which a cyclically pulsating object within the body of an individual is temporarily quiescent, such an object being the heart, an artery or the lungs. The essence of the invention is the use of a doppler radar motion sensor, normally used for vehicular speed detection or the detection of building occupancy. The doppler radar motion sensor is arranged to transmit electromagnetic signal towards the object and receive reflected electromagnetic signal from the object, and the apparatus is further arranged to identify the instants in time at which the reflected signal indicates the object is temporarily quiescent. The invention is particularly suitable for ambulatory monitoring of the heart.
