A paper on capturing information in an ICU by the authors of the framework:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5853765/

There is also an application to help measure respiration rate:

But am assuming integration with a sensor would be more useful.  One
could also measure vitals manually, and record the data in form on a
phone/tablet and then have it transmitted to GNUMed.
