A method, device, and computer program product for monitoring a subject (110) receiving care are disclosed. To enable creation of different clinical applications (115) with visually informative user interfaces similar to each other, a monitoring apparatus (100) is provided with a generic monitor module (114) serving as a template for creation of monitoring instances. At least one clinical application (115) may be created from the generic monitor module (114), wherein each clinical application defines a care process for caring a subject, and a subject-specific monitoring instance may be produced from any of the at least one clinical application (115), thereby to obtain a runtime monitoring instance. The runtime monitoring instance may then be employed for monitoring the subject (110) online. (FIG. 1)
