Patient Monitoring System

A computer system monitors the vital signs of a patient in a hospital. Sensors attached to a patient continually send information to the computer:

heart rate

temperature

blood pressure

Some of the readings require conversion to useful units of measurement (e.g. micro volts into degrees centigrade). The computer displays the information on a screen. It also logs the information in a file that can be retrieved and displayed. If any of the vital signs exceed safe limits, the screen flashes a warning and an alarm sounds. The limits have default values, but can also be changed by the operator. If a sensor fails, the screen flashes a warning and the alarm sounds.

How will requirement documents be used and maintained, especially as requirements evolve?

What processes, methods, and techniques are available for maintenance, and how effective are they?
