The application of telemetry in the medical field to remotely monitor various vital signs of ambulatory patients.

CONT

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.

OBS

biotelemetry: This term also designates a concept in the field of biology referring to the remote measurement of biological functions in both humans and animals.

CONT

Le recours aux technologies sans fil à haute performance permet la réalisation avec une façon optimale d'une télémétrie médicale efficace qui se base sur l'acquisition et le traitement des données collectées. En générale, le processus de la télémétrie passe par quatre phases à savoir : capter, envoyer, traiter et utiliser les données.

OBS

télémétrie biomédicale; télémétrie médicale : désignations validées par un spécialiste canadien de l'École de réadaptation de la Faculté de médecine et des sciences de la santé de l'Université de Sherbrooke.

Key term(s)
  • télé-métrie biomédicale
  • télé-métrie médicale

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Tratamiento sin cirugía
  • Procedimientos diagnósticos (Medicina)
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
  • Colaboración con la OMPI
CONT

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.

OBS

biotelemetría: Este término designa también un concepto en el campo de la biología referente a la medición remota de funciones biológicas tanto en humanos como en animales.
