Abstract
An implantable apnoea detection device and an implantable blood pressure monitoring device using such apnoea detection device as well as an apnoea detection arrangement and a blood pressure monitoring arrangement using such devices are presented. The apnoea detection device comprises an ultrasonic transmitter, an ultrasonic receiver and a controller. The apnoea detection device is configured for being implanted into a body of a patient. The ultrasonic transmitter is configured for transmitting ultrasonic signals. The ultrasonic receiver is configured for receiving ultrasonic signals. The controller is configured for generating a phase signal indicating a phase difference between the transmitted ultrasonic signals and the received ultrasonic signals. In the apnoea detection arrangements or the blood pressure monitoring arrangement, the phase signal may be used for determining an occurrence of an apnoea. Eventually, blood pressure signals may be interpreted taking into account the determined occurrence of the apnoea.
