A pressure-measurement device includes a pressure-measurement surface, which is functionally connected to a test body, and a sealed pressure-measurement housing in which the test body is arranged. The pressure-measurement surface is carried by a deformable wall of the sealed pressure-measurement housing lying at a distance from the test body. The sealed pressure-measurement housing delimits an internal space, which is a space internal to the sealed housing. The pressure-measurement device also includes a pressure-transmission object that transmits the pressure between the pressure-measurement surface and the test body. The pressure-transmission object includes a substantially incompressible material occupying all of the internal space. The pressure-measurement device further includes an energy source and a processor for processing pressure data detected by the test body. The processor is arranged in the sealed pressure-measurement housing.
