Have you tried using the REFRESH parameter/setting? According to the
definition:
SET REFRESH specifies how often R:BASE refreshes a form or the Data Browser,
and displays current data. It also automatically recalculates lower tables
in forms. Specify zero to turn the setting off. When REFRESH is set off,
R:BASE tells you of edits when you save or delete a row.
The interval can be set to 10 to 65535 seconds, with the default value being
0 (off???)

I would do this with Tango, build the screen and use a Meta tag to refresh
it every few seconds.

In R:base I think you will need to hard code the form writing the data to
the screen, putting it in a loop to keep checking the data every few
seconds, and writing it to the screen as it changes.  I don't think you will
be able to use an R:base form to automatically refresh the information on
the screen w/o any intervention.  (I know as soon as I say this, someone may
prove me wrong)
