Telemetry Systems
Telemetry systems in healthcare enable wireless, continuous monitoring of physiological data from patients who are ambulatory or in less acute settings. Most commonly used for cardiac monitoring, they transmit ECG signals to a central nursing station, allowing for constant observation of heart rhythm. This technology grants patients more freedom of movement while ensuring their cardiac activity is continuously assessed, aiding in the detection of intermittent arrhythmias that might otherwise be missed. Telemetry enhances patient comfort and improves efficiency in monitoring large patient populations.

Telemetry systems in healthcare refer to the wireless transmission of physiological data from a patient to a remote monitoring station. These systems typically use small, portable transmitters attached to the patient, which continuously send vital signs such as ECG, heart rate, respiratory rate, and sometimes oxygen saturation, to a central monitor managed by nursing staff. Telemetry allows patients to be mobile within a designated area (e.g., a hospital floor) while still being under constant surveillance, reducing the need for direct bedside presence. This is particularly beneficial for patients who require continuous cardiac monitoring but are not critically ill enough for an ICU. By providing continuous, remote oversight, telemetry systems enhance patient safety, facilitate early detection of cardiac events or other physiological changes, and optimize nursing efficiency in various hospital settings.
