Patent ID: 8016763

Claim:
A method for analysing pressure-signals derivable from pressure measurements on or in a body of a human being or animal, comprising the steps of sampling said signals and converting the signals to pressure-related digital data with a time reference, wherein the method further comprises the steps of: identifying, with a digital processor, from said pressure-related digital data, absolute pressure data representing absolute pressures relative to atmospheric pressure, recording repeatedly at specific time intervals, intermittently, in any reiterated manner, or continuously the absolute pressure data to create a pressure trend plot against time, determining, from the pressure trend plot against time, a plurality of different pressure level changes and a corresponding time duration of each of the different pressure level changes, and presenting numbers of different pressure level changes of various time durations in format of a matrix, wherein said numbers in said matrix relate to a number of occurrence of matches between a specific absolute pressure level change and a specific time duration of the specific absolute pressure level change.
