The ship's AI (Hal) is monitoring the vital signs of the crew in hibernation (Hunter, Whitehead, Kaminski). Their vitals are also shown on a control deck display. Bowman occasionally watches and listens to the bio-signs. (p. 87)
"But that world was watching them, through their biosensor displays. Tucked inconspicuously away among the massed instrumentation of the control deck were five small panels marked Hunter, Whitehead, Kaminski, Poole, Bowman. The last two were blank and lifeless; their time would not come until a year from now. The others bore constellations of tiny green lights, announcing that everything was well; and on each was a small display screen across which sets of glowing lines traced the leisurely rhythms that indicated pulse, respiration and brain activity."
