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.
