Pilot test of a new device for continuous vital sign monitoring
This study is testing a new wearable device that continuously tracks vital signs like heart rate and breathing. It aims to see if the device can help monitor older adults in the hospital and at home after discharge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently staying in a hospital unit that cares for older adults (Acute Care of the Elderly ward).
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study (no severe confusion or dementia).
- You or a caregiver can help put on the monitoring device at home.
- You or a caregiver can fill out questionnaires on a phone, tablet, computer, paper, or over the phone.
- You do not have any known allergies to the materials used in the device.
