# VitalsRecordRequest

Model ID: `VitalsRecordRequest`

Request body for POST /patients/{patient_id}/vitals. All fields are
optional; only the vitals actually supplied are recorded, each as its
own FHIR Observation. systolic/diastolic must be supplied together or
neither is recorded. Note: systolic_bp/diastolic_bp/spo2/weight/height
are accepted by this schema but are not currently read by the handler —
use systolic/diastolic/oxygen_saturation/weight_kg/height_cm instead.
