Zusammenfassung:A system comprises a first sensor for generating a swelling signal based on the user pressing on the first sensor with a body part, a second sensor for generating a blood signal which is indicative of the volume of blood in the body part when the user presses on the first sensor and a force sensor for measuring the force applied by the body part to the first sensor when the user presses on the first sensor. The system also comprises a processor configured to determine an indication of swelling for the body part based on the swelling signal when the force sensor measures a first pre-determined value, determine an indication of blood pressure at the body part based on a force value measured by the force sensor when the blood signal reaches a second pre-determined value.
