  • In medicine, monitoring is the observation of a disease, condition or one or several medical parameters over time.

    It can be performed by continuously measuring certain parameters by using a medical monitor (for example, by continuously measuring vital signs by a bedside monitor), and/or by repeatedly performing medical tests (such as blood glucose monitoring with a glucose meter in people with diabetes mellitus).

    Transmitting data from a monitor to a distant monitoring station is known as telemetry or biotelemetry.
