Pattern Scanning or Signature Scanning is the art of finding a sequence of bytes in memory which matches a sequence of bytes you already identified. You scan the good regions of memory byte by byte looking for the first byte. When the first byte is found, you compare each subsequent byte against the known pattern. If all the bytes are found, your pattern is found. If your comparison for 1 byte fails, you start over at the next byte.
Meaning, your signature should be for assembly instructions which are converted into bytes. Like "mov eax, [esi]". You do not pattern scan for the health integer 100. You pattern scan for the code which accesses this address. When you pattern scan returns the resulting address of the matching instructions, you then read the memory in that area where the address is hardcoded into the instructions. Or you hook and pull the value out of register. If you are pattern scanning for DATA you will get false positives. There are fringe cases when you will scan for DATA but that's rare.
