The invention relates to the field of the construction of device and relates more particularly to a method and a system which can for example be used to measure a nasal obstruction. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a system which allows to measure the swelling of the nose. This aim is attained by a system that comprises a basic device (12) with light-producing components (13) and light-detecting components (14) and emitter and receiver elements (2, 3) that are disposed outside said basic device (12) on an application element (1). The aim is furthermore attained by a method according to which light is emitted from an optical emitter element (2). An optical receiver element (3) captures the light emerging in the area of emergence of the light from the side of the nose and records the incoming values and calculates therefrom diagnostically utilizable parameters.

L'invention se rapporte au domaine de la construction d'appareils et concerne un procédé et un dispositif pouvant servir par exemple à mesurer l'obstruction nasale. L'objectif de l'invention est de créer un procédé et un dispositif permettant de mesurer un gonflement du nez. A cet effet, il est fait appel à un dispositif comprenant un appareil de base (12), qui présente des composants de production de lumière (13) et des composants de détection de lumière (14), ainsi que des éléments émetteurs et récepteurs (2,3) placés à l'extérieur de l'appareil de base (12), sur une partie d'application (1). A cet effet, il est également fait appel à un procédé, selon lequel : les éléments émetteurs (2) optiques envoient de la lumière ; un élément de réception (3) optique reçoit la lumière sortant du côté du nez ; les valeurs d'entrée sont enregistrées et des paramètres pouvant être exploités à des fins de diagnostic sont calculés à partir de ces dernières.
