Use heart and respiration rate to determine if patient needs a check-in.

• Utilize heart and respiration rates of patients in a nursing home facility to determine if they need a staff member to check-in.
  • Check-ins will be classified by emergency, non-emergency, and doctor's visit.
• Please see further analysis here: Analysis, Nursing Home Patients

• Normal Heart Rate for Elderly Adults
• Raised respiratory rate in elderly patients: a valuable physical sign

• Patients who exhibit abnormal heart rate or respiratory rate, but not both simultaneously, can be monitored with less intensity and true emergency situations can be identified more accurately.
  • Measurements of heart and respiratory rate, when measured together allow us to address potential emergency situations, including resuscitation.

• Determine if these indicators can tell us when a person is awake at night, then recommend a check-in if they aren't sleeping for more than 30 minutes between 10 pm and 5 am.

• Need to know why there are periods of many minutes with the same measurement for both heart and respiratory rate at concerning levels.

• Include plots with red, yellow, and orange indicator bars.
