Abstract

Apparatus for measuring functions of a heart, which apparatus comprises at least two electrodes (102) for measuring the functions of a heart and a telecommunications unit, which comprises an antenna (116) and which is configured to transmit wirelessly the measuring data of heart functions. The apparatus further comprises a measuring unit and an optical measuring sensor for measuring heart functions, which optical measuring sensor comprises at least one light source (104, 106) and an optical receiver (108). The electrodes (102) and the optical measuring sensor are fitted into the measuring unit. The apparatus further comprises a fixing unit, to which the measuring unit and/or the telecommunications unit can be detachably fixed and which fixing unit is essentially elastic and can be fixed to the object to be measured, e.g. with a sticker or with an adhesive. The telecommunications unit is configured to process and transmit wirelessly the processed and/or unprocessed measuring data of the optical measuring sensor of the measuring unit and/or of the electrodes (102). The telecommunications unit is in connection with the measuring unit or it is configured to be fixed in connection with the measuring unit.
