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 1, English, - biosignal

The process of telemetry involves the transmission of data from a source to a receiver typically by radio frequency electromagnetic means. Telemetry has been successfully used in biomedical applications to permit the remote monitoring of patients. An example of a useful signal to be remotely monitored is the electrocardiogram (ECG). A transmitter attached to a patient sends an ECG signal to a remote receiver where it is decoded and monitored. Such biomedical telemetry permits the patient greater mobility than if he were attached to a stationary monitor, thus enhancing the therapeutic benefits from patient mobility. 1, record 2, English, - biomedical%20telemetry

Los sistemas de biotelemetría se utilizan para la monitorización remota de la situación del paciente. Algunas aplicaciones típicas son la monitorización cardíaca, la vigilancia de la presión sanguínea, la monitorización respiratoria o de episodios de apnea, etc. La telemetría biomédica registra parámetros fisiológicos y otra información relacionada con el paciente y la envía por medio de señales electromagnéticas bi o unidireccionales permitiendo ofrecer una atención de calidad a pacientes con necesidad de atención crónica o aguda optimizando el coste, permitiendo reducir el tiempo de recuperación y la estancia en el hospital. 1, record 2, Spanish, - telemetr%C3%ADa%20biom%C3%A9dica

Tout d'abord, un système de télémétrie réalise la transmission des données issues de la mesure d'un phénomène quelconque. Si le phénomène en question est de nature biologique, le système qui réalise la transmission des données en est un de biotélémétrie. Lorsque la mesure de ces phénomènes biologiques s'effectue à l'intérieur du corps d'un organisme vivant, un système de biotélémétrie implantable réalise la transmission des données vers l'extérieur du corps. 3, record 3, French, - biot%C3%A9l%C3%A9m%C3%A9trie
