Health monitoring (biomedical engineering) is the application of engineering principles, methodologies, and technologies, particularly involving biomedical sensors, instrumentation, and data processing systems, to continuously or periodically measure, collect, analyze, and interpret physiological parameters, biomarkers, and other health-related data from individuals. This process aims to assess, track, and evaluate health status, detect changes or anomalies, monitor disease progression or treatment response, and support decisions related to diagnosis, prevention, intervention, or general wellness management. It represents a critical area within biomedical engineering, leveraging principles from sensors and data science to enable systematic and often automated assessment of biological systems, conceptually aligning with systemic monitoring approaches found in fields like smart manufacturing but applied to human health.
