  In this paper we argue that Neuro-Symbolic AI (NeSy-AI) should be applied for
patient monitoring. In this context, we introduce patient monitoring as a
special case of Human Activity Recognition and derive concrete requirements for
this application area. We then present a process architecture and discuss why
NeSy-AI should be applied for patient monitoring. To further support our
argumentation, we show how NeSy-AI can help to overcome certain technical
challenges that arise from this application area.
