Five Minute Facts
Condition Monitoring is a Bit Like Going to the Doctor
Condition monitoring is a bit like going to the doctor. Doctors may look at your electrocardiogram, blood sample results, blood pressure and temperature. These tests are just a few of many examination techniques available to them, some more complex than others. So why are they done?
