Physiological Monitoring

Meaning

Physiological Monitoring is the systematic, real-time or near-real-time measurement and interpretation of a patient’s essential biological parameters to assess organ system function and detect deviations from homeostatic norms. In a clinical setting, this process involves continuous tracking of vital signs, endocrine markers, and metabolic data to provide clinicians with an objective basis for clinical decision-making. It serves as an advanced warning system for impending deterioration or an objective measure of therapeutic efficacy.
