Electronic shirt to monitor heart and breathing in children in the ICU
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special electronic shirt that can monitor heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs in children admitted to the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if this shirt works well for continuous monitoring, which might make care more comfortable and safer for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 12 years old.
- Your child must be admitted to the SickKids Critical Care Unit (CCCU) and expected to stay for more than 12 hours.
- Your child's chest or abdomen size must fit the available shirt sizes.
- Your child must not have certain devices like a pacemaker, defibrillator, or ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine).
- Your child must not have active wounds or chest tubes in areas where the shirt needs to be placed.
- Your child must not have MRSA (a type of bacterial infection) that could be a risk to others.

This study tests a wearable patch (like a smart bandage) that tracks your heart health at home. It's for children and teens with heart failure to help doctors monitor them without frequent hospital visits.
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitor during your hospital stay helps doctors catch problems earlier than standard care alone. If you are in the hospital for heart or blood vessel issues, this device could help your care team keep a closer eye on you.
This trial tests a smart textile ECG monitor worn as a shirt to track your heart rhythm for up to 14 days. It may replace the usual sticky electrodes and wires, making monitoring more comfortable.
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 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.
