MEDICAL MONITORING SYSTEM
20210393144 · 2021-12-23 ·

The invention relates to a medical monitoring system controller (10) for controlling a medical monitoring system (1). The controller is configured to control the medical monitoring system such that the temporal resolution of storing measured medical parameters like blood pressure, heart rate et cetera in a storing unit (8) depends on the identification of a user like a physician or nurse, wherein the identification is preferentially an authentication of the user. In particular, the temporal resolution of storing measured medical parameters can be increased, if a user has been identified. It is therefore not required to store the medical parameter with a relatively high temporal resolution all the time, but this temporal resolution might generally be relatively low and increased, if a user has been identified. This allows for a significant reduction of the required storage capacity.
