Check how well a skin patch records vital signs in children
This study tests whether a small skin patch (connected to a device) can accurately record vital signs in children who need close monitoring in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It may help improve how doctors track a child’s heart rate, breathing, and other key signs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in the PICU and expected to need monitoring for at least the next 24 hours
- Have had no recent heart (cardiac) or chest (thoracic) surgery
- Have skin on the chest area where the patch would go that can safely be used (no skin problem that blocks the patch)
- Have a parent or legal guardian who can give consent for the study
- Allow study staff to be in the room as needed; if your child’s doctors think it wouldn’t be safe for your child, the study may not proceed

This trial studies whether a connected patch can continuously monitor vital signs in children in the intensive care unit (ICU) safely and effectively. It may help care teams spot changes sooner using ongoing measurements.
This study checks if a skin sensor can accurately measure oxygen levels in the blood of children in the intensive care unit, compared to standard blood tests. It may help reduce the need for frequent needle sticks.
This trial tests wearable smart sensors that continuously track vital signs in children in the hospital (especially the ICU). It may help doctors watch changes sooner and learn how well the sensors work on children during care.
This study tests a wireless wearable device that tracks vital signs like heart rate and breathing in children from birth to 12 years old. It may help monitor kids more comfortably without wires.
This trial tests a new type of oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter) in babies under 1 year old. It helps doctors better track oxygen levels in critically ill infants to improve care.
This study checks whether a bedside “metabolic monitor” can accurately measure how well the heart is pumping (heart output) in children in the intensive care unit. It may help clinicians better understand and manage circulation using measurement methods during critical care.
