Abstract:
1. An apparatus for indicating a health-related condition of a subject, comprising: an input interface for receiving a raw sequence of samples of a biological quantity derived by a measurement method and a further raw sequence of a different biological quantity derived by a further measurement method; a first processor for processing the raw sequence of samples to obtain a processed sequence, the first processor comprising an interpolator for providing data on an interpolated sample for a missing sample of the biological quantity using one or more samples at a preceding time instant or one or more samples at a subsequent time instant to obtain an interpolated sequence representing samples of the raw sequence and the interpolated sample; a filter for filtering the processed sequence provided by the first processor to obtain a filtered sequence, the filtered sequence having a useful variation and a reduced non-useful variation compared to the processed sequence before filtering, wherein the filter is configured for filtering the further raw sequence to obtain a further filtered sequence; an output interface for processing an enhanced sequence derived from the filtered sequence and for outputting at least an increase indication, a decrease indication or a remain unchanged indication as a trend of the enhanced sequence, the trend being representative of a useful variation of the health-related condition of the subject; and a second processor for deriving the enhanced sequence from the filtered sequence, wherein the second processor comprises a combiner, for combining the filtered sequence and the further filtered sequence to derive the enhanced sequence.
