HOSPITAL MONITORING [8 records]

Record 1 2025-03-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Hospital Organization
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

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.

OBS

in-hospital monitoring; in-patient monitoring : designations validated by a Canadian subject-matter expert from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal and the Université de Montréal.

La determinación de la tensión arterial (TA) clínica es una práctica rutinaria y obligada tanto en niños como en adolescentes y adultos que ingresan en el hospital. [...] No se sabe la correlación exacta entre las medidas de la TA determinada por diferentes métodos en niños y adolescentes; uno de ellos, la técnica de la monitorización ambulatoria de la TA (MAPA), no puede ser realizada cuando se trata de familias o niños no colaboradores. En el presente trabajo se comparan los valores de la TA clínica con los obtenidos mediante monitorización hospitalaria [...] en pacientes ingresados en el hospital y se plantea la posibilidad de su utilización.

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.

OBS

virtual hospital; VH: designations validated by Canadian subject-matter experts from the National Research Council of Canada, and from the Université de Montréal and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal.

El concepto de este proyecto es el de un "hospital virtual", "este se refiere al monitoreo remoto de los signos vitales que se consideran relevantes según el especialista médico, de acuerdo a la patología del paciente entre las que se encuentran pacientes postraumáticos, pacientes geriátricos, pacientes con enfermedades terminales, con el fin de observar y analizar sus signos desde una central de monitoreo por un especialista médico. 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."

  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

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.

Capillary blood glucose monitoring. Technological advances have provided the means for monitoring blood glucose levels by using a drop of capillary blood.

OBS

Capillary blood glucose monitoring is divided into point of care testing(POCT) in hospital and SMBG [self-monitoring of blood glucose]. SMBG is usually performed by patients themselves, and POCT is performed by nurses in hospitals.
