Sensor device for ascertaining inflammation-relevant vital parameters

Abstract

A sensor device for determining vital parameters relevant to inflammation includes a base body (1a) with a substantially rectangular base surface; an ring-shaped holder (2), which is fixed to the base body (1a), for placing on a finger of a patient; and at least one sensor arm (4), which is detachably fixed to the base body (1a). A sensor surface, which is functionally associated with a temperature sensor (6), is arranged at the end on the sensor arm (4) in such a way and the sensor arm (4) has such a length that the sensor surface in the position of use comes to rest on the base joint of the patient's finger. Means for storing and optionally transmitting the data measured by the temperature sensor to a data evaluation unit are provided in the base body, and the at least one sensor arm (4) fixed to the base body (1a) is detachably fixed to the base body.
