SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE MONITORING OF VITALS DATA ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTHCARE CARGO IN TRANSIT

Systems and methods for improving the monitoring of vitals data associated with healthcare cargo in transit are disclosed. Embodiments may include identifying the presence of healthcare cargo based, at least in part, on at least one of a product code and special handling code associated with the healthcare cargo. Embodiments may also include receiving, at a first time instant, vitals data associated with the healthcare cargo. Embodiments may further include storing the received vitals data in memory accessible by the processor. Embodiments may also include determining a first time interval which specifies the approximate time between the first time instant when the vitals data was received and a subsequent time instant at which subsequent vitals data is to be received. Embodiments may further include outputting a notice when a second time interval has elapsed, wherein the second time interval is less than the first time interval.
