Hospitals provide certain types of medical care to many patients that cannot be performed in a home environment. This is often the case with specific illnesses, surgeries, and other medical procedures that require a high level of monitoring of the patient. When medical conditions improve to the point that only occasional monitoring is required, patients can be released from the hospital or medical facility.... Embodiments of the present invention provide methods for customized medical monitoring that may allow early release of many patients from a hospital setting that would normally require in-hospital monitoring. 1, record 1, English, - in%2Dhospital%20monitoring

The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges to healthcare services. Concerns about hospital services being overwhelmed led National Health Service(NHS) institutions to develop novel approaches to caring for patients with suspected COVID-19. These include virtual hospitals(VH) where patients who have come to the attention of hospital services and need close monitoring, but do not necessarily need inpatient care, are followed remotely by hospital-based clinicians. VHs are particularly valuable during periods of high disease prevalence, when inpatient hospital services are struggling to cope. 1, record 2, English, - virtual%20hospital

En la práctica, el paciente podría encontrarse en su casa y el médico encargado desde una central de monitoreo, ubicado en el hospital del sector, observaría desde una terminal adecuada los signos vitales de dicho paciente y la imagen del mismo en instantes del día que se consideren necesarios, de manera que con ayuda de una interfaz adecuada pueda evaluar los signos de múltiples pacientes." 1, record 2, Spanish, - hospital%20virtual

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 3, English, - remote%20patient%20monitoring%20system
