Remote patient monitoring(RPM) is a type of telehealth in which healthcare providers monitor patients outside the traditional care setting using digital medical devices, such as weight scales, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, and blood glucose meters. The data collected from these devices are then electronically transferred to providers for care management. Automated feedback and workflows can be built into data collection, and out-of-range values or concerning readings can be flagged. 6, record 1, English, - remote%20patient%20monitoring

Anthropometric measurements are quantitative measurements of the body, for which non-invasive tools and methods exist. In the paediatric population, anthropometric values are used to determine development and health status of the child... In adults, such measurements can help to assess health and nutritional status, as well as potential risk factors for diseases, such as obesity...

In many fisheries, dockside monitoring is the [Department of Fisheries and Oceans’] primary source of verified landing information. This tool only reports on retained catch; information on non-retained catch is not reported. The data collected can include species identification, size, and weight and information on fishing activity. Catches are weighed and/or counted at the wharf providing a direct and typically accurate measurement. This is in contrast to catches recorded by at-sea observers which are often based on a visual estimation of catch weight... 2, record 5, English, - dockside%20monitoring

Dans de nombreuses pêches, la vérification à quai est la principale source d'information vérifiée du [ministère de Pêches et Océans] sur les débarquements. Cet outil ne rend compte que des prises gardées et ne fournit aucune information sur les prises rejetées. Les données recueillies peuvent comprendre l'identification des espèces, la taille et le poids ainsi que des renseignements sur les activités de pêche. Les prises sont pesées ou comptées au quai, ce qui permet une mesure directe et généralement précise. Cette méthode contraste avec les prises enregistrées par les observateurs en mer, qui sont souvent basées sur une estimation visuelle du poids des captures […] 2, record 5, French, - v%C3%A9rification%20%C3%A0%20quai

The jacket and swivel tethering system facilitates animal movement, yet permits sampling or protection of instrumentation and equipment. It allows much greater movement and permits simultaneous fluid sampling, drug infusion, and electronic measuring and monitoring. The tethered animal can be maintained comfortably and humanely for months, while fully instrumented. The light weight and flexibility of the tether, combined with the low friction of the swivel, inhibits very little of the animal' s normal cage activity. 1, record 6, English, - jacket%20and%20swivel%20tethering%20system

Un équipement appelé « jaquette et système d'attache pivotant » est un exemple de système d'immobilisation moins restrictif qui facilite les mouvements des animaux, mais permet néanmoins le prélèvement d'échantillons et la protection des instruments ou de l'équipement. Ce système facilite des mouvements plus élaborés et permet d'exécuter simultanément des prélèvements de liquides, d'administration de drogues, des mesures et des contrôles électroniques. L'animal qu'on a attaché peut vivre confortablement et d'une façon humanitaire pendant des mois tout en étant branché à plusieurs instruments. Étant donné le faible poids et la flexibilité de l'attache, combinés à une légère friction du pivot, l'animal peut vaquer à ses activités normales dans sa cage. 1, record 6, French, - jaquette%20et%20syst%C3%A8me%20d%27attache%20pivotant
