We could view the patient as a process under control, with all the sensors we have, and simply apply process control technology to that without waiting for a human to interpret the data many hours after it's relevant.
I've been there. They take the physical samples to minimize patient sleep.
Otherwise, you're hooked up to monitoring equipment...
... that beeps and boops nonstop. Yes, but on top of that the error rate in measurements is staggering. It's difficult even to get reliable vital signs. Also, much of the stuff we're measuring is of unclear purpose. We don't have a solid understanding of what the measurements actually mean for the patient.
I talked with some doctors. They said they already have alert fatigue, mostly from so many false alarms built into the systems they already have.
Visit a hospital and see how measurement samples are taken. Your idea might be applicable with 10x the budget.
