1. A monitoring system for monitoring a patient, the monitoring system comprising:
a voice cloning device including a voice generator, the voice cloning device being configured to:
replace a natural voice of a person with a first cloned synthetic voice different from the natural voice of the person, the first cloned synthetic voice being selectable from at least two cloned synthetic voices; and
output the first cloned synthetic voice;
a measuring unit configured to record at least one physiological parameter of the patient during operation of the voice cloning device using the first cloned synthetic voice;
an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the at least one physiological parameter of the patient; and
an actuation unit configured to actuate the voice cloning device such that the first cloned synthetic voice is selected or rejected depending on a result of the evaluation of the at least one physiological parameter of the patient by the evaluation unit,
wherein the evaluation of the at least one physiological parameter of the patient comprises comparison of the at least one physiological parameter with at least one threshold value, and
wherein the actuation of the voice cloning device takes place such that the first cloned synthetic voice is selected when the evaluation of the at least one physiological parameter indicates that a threshold value of the at least one threshold value for the at least one physiological parameter is not exceeded, and that the first cloned synthetic voice is rejected when the evaluation of the at least one physiological parameter indicates that a threshold value for the at least one physiological parameter is exceeded.
