Comparing a wristband temperature sensor to rectal thermometer in the ICU
This study tests a wrist-worn device (CardioWatch) that measures body temperature without needles. It compares that measurement to the standard rectal thermometer, so you won't need an extra temperature probe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are currently in the ICU or recovery room at Reinier de Graaf hospital.
- You can wear a wristband and a sensor on your arm (no allergies to plastics, no wounds, no amputations).
- Your body temperature is not above 40°C (104°F) and you don't have a problem regulating temperature.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form.

This trial compares two Garmin smartwatches to hospital monitors to see if they can reliably track your heart rate, oxygen, and other vital signs. If you are staying in the hospital for at least another day, you might help find out if these watches work well for patient monitoring.
This trial tests a new device called Thermodiag to measure body temperature. It is for patients in intensive care units who may need close monitoring of their temperature.
This trial uses a special wristband and sticky patches to record your heartbeat signals. The goal is to train a computer to accurately measure a heart time interval, which could help doctors monitor heart health more easily.
This study tests a new wristwatch device that measures blood pressure to see if it works as well as the traditional arm cuff. You'll visit the clinic 3 times so researchers can compare readings from both the wristwatch and regular blood pressure cuff.
This trial tests a new non-invasive device (DARE) to measure blood pressure and core body temperature in patients who are already receiving standard monitoring with an arterial line and a urinary catheter in the ICU.
This study compares a wearable blood pressure monitor to standard measurements. It needs people whose arm can be used for a cuff and who can give consent, and some participants are in the ICU.
