Abstract

The invention provides a medical device system comprising at least two technologies wherein at least one technology is based on bio-impedance measuring and/or at least one technology is based on spectrophotometry measurements wherein software cross analyses the results to assess the homeostasis of an individual. The technologies measure a variety of parameters. In one embodiment the bioimpedance measuring equipment measures in bipolar mode and in tetrapolar mode and the spectophotmeter measuring equipment comprises a pulse oximeter. The system and homeostasis score can be used to determine and monitor therapy for a patient.

Claims (12)

1 . A medical device system comprising at least two technologies wherein at least one technology is based on bio-impedance measuring and/or at least one technology is based on spectrophotometry measurements wherein software cross analyses the results to assess the homeostasis of an individual.

2 . A system as claimed in claim 1 wherein a series of medical devices measure a variety of parameters using different technologies and software compiles the results of these to provide a homeostasis score.

3 . A system as claimed in claim 1 comprising at least a pulse oximeter which provides a vascular waveform in combination with other biosensors and software.

4 . A system as claimed in claim 1 which further includes EKG monitor, blood glucose meter, spirometer.

5 . A system as claimed in claim 1 comprising at least 4 biosensors wherein signal processing-analysis is managed by software.

6 . A system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the technologies include a) bioimpedance in bipolar mode (ElS sensor), b) bioimpedance in tetrapolar mode (ES-BC sensor), c) a spectrophotometer (ESO sensor) and d) oscillometric measurements. (NlBP sensor)

7 . Use of a system as claimed in claim 1 to establish a homeostasis score for a patient.

8 . A medical device system to assess the homeostasis of an individual, the system comprising bio impedance measuring equipment and spectophometry measuring equipment and software capable of analyzing both sets of results.

9 . A medical device system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the bioimpedance measuring equipment measures bioimpedance in bipolar mode and in tetrapolar mode.

10 . A medical device system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the spectophotmeter measuring equipment comprises a pulse oximeter.

11 . A medical device system as claimed in claim 8 wherein the software analyzes the results to calculate assess a patient and provides the results as a homeostasis score.

12 . A score of homeostasis of an individual comprising a series of defined tests including at least bioimpedance and spectrophotometer monitoring.
