The invention describes a measuring system for the continuous non-invasive determination of blood pressure at one or more fingers. The fingers chosen for measurement and the adjacent parts of the palm rest on a supporting surface of a housing, which has the shape of a computer mouse. Inside the housing of the 'CNAP Mouse', i.e. underneath the supporting surface for the hand, the pressure generating system is located. The finger sensors are mounted on the supporting surface for the hand. The forearm and the back of the hand are left free and may be used to place intra-venous or intra-arterial access elements. Since the hand will rest on the supporting surface motion artefacts are largely avoided. Tilting or turning of the sensors is hardly possible since the fit of the sensors and thus the coupling of light and pressure are optimized.
