Comparing a wearable temperature monitor with standard care in the ICU
This study tests whether a wearable watch and chest sensor can measure body temperature as accurately as the standard rectal thermometer used in intensive care. If successful, this could make temperature monitoring more comfortable for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a wristwatch-like device that may help doctors understand frailty (overall weakness) in older adults having heart procedures. Participants wear the watch before their procedure, and the device may help tailor their care.
This study tests a new arm-worn sensor called Thermodiag that measures body temperature continuously. It aims to see how accurate and safe it is for patients in intensive care, potentially replacing frequent manual temperature checks.
This study tests a new way to measure your heart's electrical activity using a smart wristband and chest stickers, aiming to improve how doctors track heart health. The data is analyzed by artificial intelligence to recreate a standard heart test (ECG).
This study tests a new wrist device that measures blood pressure to see if it matches the standard arm-cuff measurement. It could offer a more comfortable way to check blood pressure at home.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitor during your hospital stay helps doctors catch problems earlier than standard care alone. If you are in the hospital for heart or blood vessel issues, this device could help your care team keep a closer eye on you.
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.
