Real-time monitoring systems and methods in a healthcare environment

A real-time monitoring system, comprising:

• a computer system having a processor that executes software stored on a non-transitory computer-readable memory to perform operations comprising:
• retrieving sensor data from a plurality of system sensors,
• storing a status and a location of a user,
• determining at least one delay criterion for at least one of the system sensors as a function of at least one of the status and the location of the user, a type of sensor information from the at least one of the system sensors, and sensor data from at least one other system sensor, and
• performing a software operation when a sensor's time delay between measurements fails to satisfy the at least one determined delay criterion.

A method for real-time monitoring of a user, the method comprising:

• determining at least one delay criterion that varies according to at least one of a status of the user and one or more latency factors;
• monitoring a time delay between measurements of at least one sensor;
• comparing the time delay with the at least one determined delay criterion;
• and
• performing a software operation if the time delay fails to satisfy the at least one determined delay criterion.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions executable by a processor or programmable circuit to perform operations for real time monitoring of a user, the operations comprising:

• determining at least one delay criterion that varies according to at least one of a status of the user and one or more latency factors;
• monitoring a time delay between measurements of at least one sensor;
• comparing the time delay with the at least one determined delay criterion;
• and
• performing a software operation if the time delay fails to satisfy the at least one determined delay criterion.
