Advances in telemedicine technology have led to intelligent monitoring systems that are capable of helping medical experts in their decision-making process. These systems imply the introduction of a bed-side computer that supervises the patient and collects, stores and visualizes all the information provided by the medical devices in an accessible way. This paper describes the telemedicine system that is currently being developed by our research team for the intelligent telemonitoring of patients at an intensive care unit (ICU). Concretely, the paper focuses on our 3D visualization module, which shows a virtual model of the patient and allows the clinical staff to visualize the patient's evolution in a rapid and clear manner.
