Abstract

Vital signs measurement is key for monitoring and controlling the health of patients in the home environment. Parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation or blood glucose reflect the state of essential functions of the human body. Deviations of some of these parameters may indicate illness or worsening of the patient’s condition. Nowadays there are different devices that allow the measurement of the main vital signs, in this article the measurement technologies as well as the main medical devices are reviewed. Many of these devices are not suitable for simultaneous monitoring of several vital signs so the patient is required to handle a multitude of devices. Therefore, a review of new monitoring device concepts that combine more than one vital sign and do not interfere with the day-to-day life of patients is carried out.
