This study tests a special headband and sensor (OXYFLEX) that tracks your vital signs like heart rate and oxygen levels. It's for patients in the emergency room, having long surgery, or in intensive care, and compares this new sensor to standard monitoring.
This trial uses a camera to measure your vital signs (like heart rate) without touching you, right in the emergency room. The goal is to see if this contactless method can help quickly assess patients when they arrive.
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.
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.
This study uses a camera to monitor your heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels without any sensors touching your skin. It may help make surgery safer and more comfortable.
This study tests a new method to help children aged 4 to 12 feel more involved and comfortable during standard X-rays. It may make the experience easier for kids, parents, and radiographers.
