Multipara Monitors

In medicine, monitoring is the observation of a disease, condition or one or several medical parameters over time. Monitoring of vital parameters can include several of the ones, and most commonly include blood pressure and heart rate, and preferably also pulse oximetry and respiratory rate.

Multipara Monitors (MPMs) are widely used in intensive care units (ICUs) and general wards to continuously monitor patients’ health based on the following human vital parameters: heart rate; blood pressure; respiration rate; and oxygen saturation (SPO2).

We describe and label four types of monitoring—surveillance, implementation, effectiveness, and ecological effects—that are designed to answer very different questions and achieve very different goals.
