Several methods are employed in patient monitoring, including:
Electronic Health Records (EHR): Digital records that provide comprehensive patient information, facilitating real-time monitoring. Wearable Devices: Devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches that continuously monitor health metrics such as heart rate and activity levels. Surveys and Questionnaires: Collecting self-reported health data from individuals to gauge the prevalence and impact of health conditions. Laboratory Tests: Regular testing of biological samples to monitor disease markers and health indicators. Geospatial Analysis: Mapping disease occurrences to identify patterns and hotspots for targeted interventions.
