Abstract
Digital monitoring systems in medical practice is one of the instruments for determination of organic processes. Various kinds of organic processes such as childbirth, growing, development, eating, ageing, dying can be witnessed by digital monitoring systems. It aims to establish knowledge about working bodies and minimize spreading of illness or negative processes. Systems are witnessing about human actions, about functioning of invisible organs and very little changes in human organisms. Witnessing has links with measuring and judgemental codes in computer programs. Sensors convert mode of body to numeric parameters, measure statement of organism and compare it with necessary levels. As a result, digital monitoring systems mark changes and transgression of norms in individual organic processes.
In contemporary reaching of certain numeric parameters becomes in medicine a strategy of organic processes’ improvement. Devices’ witnessing connected with measuring and judgemental codes is an instrument for it. Doctors or patients look at results of bodies functioning and make their own decisions based on them. Specificity of witnessing of organic processes by digital monitoring systems is in its digital nature. Digital code is a basement for witnessing and measuring. It is created to save normal body’s functioning. So digital code presents new reality (order), which helps understand the statement of organism. In this paper, we clear the question how digital code correlates with principles of body’s functioning. What are the positive and negative aspects of digital determining? How digital monitoring systems can advance functioning of organism and what they need to pay back?
