CARDIOSIGNALS makes possible non-invasive measurements and monitoring of various physiological functions in the human body.

CARDIOSIGNALS enables safe and efficient signal conditioning and the simultaneous acquisition of basic physiological signals, e.g., ECG, respiratory effort, dynamic blood pressure (plethysmograph) and minute variations in body temperature. The signal-conditioning system is connected to a personal computer, where the analysis of the acquired signals is proceeded by the use of standard data-processing SW tools.

CARDIOSIGNALS has a very intuitive user interface and can detect changes of less than 1/1000°C in body temperature.

The system is intended for in-depth research of the dynamics of the cardio-vascular system. It can be used for research in many fields of medicine, especially for research on procedures for controlling the depth of anaesthesia.
