Abstract

A method is for automated recording of patient actions, for example in the course of telemedical care, in the course of clinical studies for the merit of a form of therapy or for trialing the effectiveness of drugs. The medical equipment or devices used in this context are provided with recording devices for identifying the patient so that the data obtained during use of the equipment or accessories can automatically be attributed to the patient in question.
