Vital signs monitoring
Vital signs monitoring involves regularly measuring key body functions—such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and breathing rate—to assess a person's health. These measurements provide essential information about how well the body is functioning and can help detect early signs of illness or changes in health status. Monitoring vital signs is a routine part of medical care, guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions. It can be done manually by healthcare providers or automatically with specialized devices, ensuring timely and accurate assessment of a person's overall well-being.
