In a telemedicine system, a patient is geographically removed from the presence of a doctor or other healthcare provider. For example, the patient could be at home instead of on site at a healthcare facility. Telemedical devices enable the healthcare provider to monitor the health status of a patient and potentially diagnose and treat some medical problems without the need for the patient to travel to the healthcare facility. The use of telemedical systems has the potential to reduce the cost of healthcare, and to improve the quality of healthcare through increased patient monitoring. Various known telemedicine systems provide a device to a patient that enables the patient to transmit medical data to a doctor or healthcare provider. Some devices are configured to record biosignals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rates, and transmit data of the recorded biosignals to a database for later review. 1, record 3, English, - biosignal

The server is functionally linked to a data repository comprising profile data for each of the census of patients, and includes a processor and a computer program product executable by the processor to direct the following operations. The system determines each of a negative outcome associated with services of the healthcare provider and a positive outcome having an inverse correlation with respect to said negative outcome. A group of patients is defined from among said census of patients as being at-risk with respect to the determined negative outcome, and the system further defines a clinical workflow as a sequence of one or more treatment stages associated with the determined positive outcome. The system further tracks a degree of activity by the healthcare provider for the defined group of at-risk patients and with respect to a first threshold value, and a degree of compliance by the healthcare provider with the clinical workflow based on a second threshold value. 1, record 5, English, - clinical%20workflow

In a remote patient monitoring system, physiological data is collected through biomedical sensors in order to evaluate the well-being of patients outside of the hospital setting. Its purpose is to move traditional clinical settings into people's homes, where they live, work, and play. In order for the appropriate decisions to be made, the data collected is wirelessly transmitted to the healthcare provider. Using this type of tele-health, physiological data such as heart rate/pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation can be measured and transmitted. 1, record 9, English, - remote%20patient%20monitoring%20system
