Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In order to easily prepare a medical diagnostic analysis of a patient, a barcode scanning device ( 100 ) is configured for determining a physiological quantity of the patient. The barcode scanning device ( 100 ) comprises a light receiving unit ( 108 ) configured for receiving light ( 219 ) reflected from a surface to be sensed of the patient, and a signal processing unit ( 218 ) configured for determining the physiological quantity of the patient based on the received light ( 219 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A barcode scanning device configured both for reading a barcode attached to a patient and for determining a physiological quantity of the patient wherein the physiological quantity of the patient comprises at least one of a respiratory frequency of the patient or a pulse frequency of the patient, the barcode scanning device comprising: a light emitting unit configured for emitting light towards a surface to be sensed of the patient, wherein a wavelengt…
