Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2777491A1] The method involves irradiating broadband light having wavelength in the spectral range of 400nm-850nm into tissue of a living being. The spectrum of the reflected light from tissue is recorded and analyzed. The analysis process is carried out to determine the first parameter based on first spectral region within the spectrum and determine second parameter based on second spectral region which is greater than first spectrum and first spectral range. The first parameter is compared with the second parameter, so as to determine one vital parameter on basis of comparison. An independent claim is included for the device for monitoring vital parameter of patient.
