Arrangement for determining body surface properties by means of photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS)

摘要

An arrangement (100) for determining body surface properties is given. The arrangement comprises: a detection unit (110) for detecting body surface features; an evaluation unit (120) for evaluating the detected body surface features and determining the body surface properties based on the detected body surface features; and a user interface (130) having an output unit (134), the user interface configured to interact with a user. The evaluation unit (120) is designed to query a data storage unit (140) using the determined body surface properties, to obtain characteristics of treatment agents and / or application instructions for non-therapeutic treatment of a body surface according to the determined body surface properties from the data storage unit (140), and the output unit (134) to provide information on the means of treatment and / or instructions for use to a user. The evaluation unit (120) is a portable computing unit and the detection unit is designed to detect the body surface features by means of photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) in a wavelength range between 300 nm and 1200 nm.
