Medical apparatus

摘要

The appts includes a device for generating a basic therapy for artificially controlling a physiological function of a subject. A non-linear oscillator (2) is included and a device (26) for matching the output of the non-linear oscillator to the natural variability of the physiological function to produce a variability adjustment. A device for combining the basic therapy and the variability adjustment to generate a variability-adjusted therapy. A device (27) is provided for administering the variability-adjusted therapy to the subject. A device (24) is provided for obtaining a physiological measurement over time from the subject and a device (9a) for artificially controlling a physiological function of the subject comprising device for artificially controlling the physiological function of the subject dependent on the physiological measurement.
