What is the fundamental pipeline established by early, rudimentary remote monitoring systems?
Sensor Transmitter Receiver Clinician Interpretation
The early, albeit primitive, remote monitoring systems established a foundational sequence or pipeline necessary for data flow in remote diagnostics. This pipeline starts with the point of measurement, the sensor, which captures the biological data. This data is then sent via a transmitter. At the receiving end, a receiver gathers the transmitted signal. Finally, the processed information is presented for Clinician Interpretation. Although this structure existed even in rudimentary forms—like transmitting ECG data wirelessly—it established the essential framework for moving health metrics from the patient's location to the provider for analysis, a concept formalized later under Remote Patient Monitoring standards.
