Heart and activity monitoring in kids after injury or surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses a Fitbit-like wristband to continuously track heart rate and activity in children recovering from a traumatic injury or appendix surgery. The goal is to see if this monitoring can help detect early signs of problems, such as infection or complications, before they become serious.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child who has had a recent traumatic injury or just had your appendix removed.
- You can wear a Fitbit on your wrist without any allergy to rubber or other materials.
- You have both arms and hands, and can comfortably wear a wristband on either wrist.

This trial uses a Fitbit wearable to see if it can help detect infections early in children recovering from surgery for complicated appendicitis. It aims to improve recovery and catch problems sooner.
This study checks whether common wearable devices can predict or detect problems after treatment or surgery. If you join, the researchers will compare what the wearable shows with what happens to you medically, to see if earlier warnings are possible.
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 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 trial tests a system that continuously checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) using wireless sensors and sends automatic alerts if you seem to be getting worse. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner whether you’re being monitored at home or around a major surgery hospital stay.
This trial is testing a wearable monitor that keeps track of your vital signs after surgery. It is for people who are having non-cardiac surgery and have certain health risks, and will help doctors spot problems early.
