Portable automatic sphygmomanometer with monitoring and classification of the physical activity of a patient by means of fuzzy logics processing

摘要

A pressure holter by oscillometric detection for acquiring and recording maximum and minimum values of arterial pressure, is provided with means of detection and classification of the movement producing an index of the current state of physical exertion in coincidence with the readings of minimum and maximum arterial pressure and with means managing the blood pressure measurements, controlling the execution of the holter functions and of fuzzy logic processing of the readings. A sensor of the internal air pressure of inflation of a pneumatic constriction sleeve worn on an arm of the subject is exploited for detecting movements of the arm and at least a second sensor of movement, fixed to the bust of the patient, is employed.
