Using Early Warning Score for vital signs analysis in IoT healthcare environment

International audienceThe ability to monitor vital signs in a hospital environment can be improved by information technology, specifically by IoT for healthcare. This technology allows services ranging from monitoring and analysis of vital signs in various environments and times of everyday life. This paper presents patient scenarios associated with data on heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation. By monitoring these data it is possible to calculate the risk score using the EWS (Early Warning Score), assisting health teams, reducing intervention times and improving data accuracy. The results obtained in this study demonstrate that individual monitoring and risk analysis, in hospital or other settings, besides improving the quality of care, can reduce the time to identify which patients are at risk, increasing the accuracy of the monitored signals
