Abstract

A therapy device having at least one sensor for detecting a variable that n be measured on the body of a patient in the application of a predetermined therapy, and for outputting a corresponding measured value, an evaluating and control device that is connected to the output of the sensor, and a therapy device that is connected to the output of the evaluating and control device and is configured for realizing different therapies as a function of the association of the value of the measured variable with a predetermined value range, with the evaluating and control device having a range-limit memory, a comparator unit for associating the measured value of the variable with one of the value ranges, a therapy memory having at least two separately-addressable memory regions for storing at least two different values of the therapy-control variable in association with the values of the measured variable within an overlap zone between two value ranges, a past-history memory and past-history evaluation means for transmitting the address data expressing the evaluation result to the therapy memory for reading out exactly one value of the therapy-control variable.
