Wireless monitoring of breathing and heart rate in hospital patients
This trial tests a wireless monitoring system (called WARD-CSS) that tracks your breathing and heart rate while you are in the hospital or after you go home. It is designed to help doctors detect early signs of trouble so you can get help faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are admitted to the hospital for a medical or surgical problem and expect to stay at least 2 days
- You are willing to take part and give your permission (informed consent)
- You do not have a condition like severe dementia that would prevent you from being monitored continuously
- You can wear the wireless monitoring equipment (like a small patch or sensor)

This trial tests if keeping a close watch on vital signs like heart rate and breathing using wearable sensors can help spot problems earlier in people recovering from stomach or bowel surgery. It aims to make the recovery safer and catch any complications sooner.
This study tests a new wireless device that monitors breathing and heart function in hospitalized patients to catch warning signs of deterioration early. You'd wear the device during your hospital stay to help researchers understand how well it works.
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 tests whether a wireless, wearable monitor can safely track your heart rate and other vital signs after complex spinal surgery, reducing the need for frequent nurse checks. If you are having extensive back surgery and stay in the hospital for at least 3 days, you may be eligible.
This trial uses wireless monitors to watch for early warning signs that a hospital patient might be getting worse. The goal is to see if this type of monitoring helps catch problems sooner so doctors can act quickly.
This trial tests a new, soft, wearable monitor that tracks your heart and body signs without wires or sticky pads. It aims to see if this device can help doctors diagnose and treat heart disease more comfortably.
