The present invention is concerned with the automated updating of a digital patient record with actual vital signs data values for the patient, thereby obviating the need for a healthcare professional attending to the patient to manually input such data values into the digital patient record. To this end, the present application provides several computer-implemented methods for capturing such vital signs data values in digital form, e.g. a photographic image or screen capture, and automatically extracting the vital signs data values captured in such a digital image therefrom, e.g. using OCR algorithms. Also provided are computer program products for implementing such methods and electronic devices configured to implement such methods.
