Testing a device for measuring breathing rate in the ER
This trial tests how accurate a new monitor is at measuring breathing rate in emergency room patients. It may help doctors quickly and easily check your breathing without extra steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must not need a breathing machine or any breathing support.
- You must not have a condition that causes uncontrollable movements, like a tremor.
- Your finger or skin must be healthy enough for a pulse oximeter clip.
- You must be stable enough to not need emergency lifesaving care right away.
- You must not have a left ventricular assist device (a heart pump).

This trial tests a new way to measure breathing using a standard oxygen sensor (pulse oximetry) and a special clip on the nose for children and adults. It's meant for people already having their blood oxygen checked regularly, and the goal is to see if the sensor can accurately track your breaths.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how fast you breathe. Researchers will compare the smartwatch's readings to medical-grade equipment to see if smartwatches could be useful for health monitoring.
This study measures how you breathe and how well oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of your lungs. It’s mainly a monitoring study to help researchers understand breathing patterns during a breathing test.
This study tests a device that checks breathing without needles or painful procedures. It may help doctors learn how well breathing can be measured in people with mild breathing problems, or in healthy volunteers.
This study tests a tiny, ultra-sensitive device that monitors your breathing during surgery or oxygen therapy. Researchers want to see if this new technology can better track how well your lungs are working compared to standard monitors.
This trial tests a device called BreathAlert that monitors breathing and detects when a patient stops breathing (apnea). It aims to help doctors and nurses keep a closer watch on patients who are at risk.
