Ambulatory devices are designed for monitoring outpatient’s vital signs in the hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), and outpatient clinics. These devices are used for the monitoring and recording of patients’ parameters, such as blood pressure, blood glucose levels, oxygen saturation, body temperature, sleep activity, pain, pulse rate, urine output, level of consciousness, and respiration rate. Ambulatory devices provide appropriate, comprehensive, and timely care to patients by remotely monitoring the physiological parameters of the patient. These devices are also used for drug delivery through ambulatory infusion systems for non-invasive and less painful drug delivery procedures. Ambulatory devices are designed with the advanced technology to provide additional features, such as Bluetooth connectivity and installed tracking system, among others, for better outpatient monitoring.
