Wearable sensor to predict sepsis in intensive care
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable sensor system in intensive care patients to see if it can predict sepsis early. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to infection, and catching it sooner could lead to faster treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have at least one risk factor for sepsis, such as a chronic health condition, an invasive device, a recent procedure, an active infection, or a long ICU stay.
- You must not already have sepsis when you join.
- You must not have certain skin problems, implants, or medical conditions that would interfere with the sensor.
- You must be able to give informed consent.

This study uses a wearable skin patch placed on you during a sepsis hospital stay to help predict whether you might need to be readmitted after discharge. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk of rehospitalization and plan follow-up care earlier.
This study is testing a wearable sweat sensor to check lactate levels in the sweat of critically ill patients. If the sensor works well, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor patient health compared to blood tests.
This trial is looking for patients who have an infection and are showing early signs of getting sicker, like a high warning score. It aims to find out if doctors can identify those at risk of sepsis sooner so they can start treatment earlier.
This trial is building a tool to predict sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection, in intensive care patients. It may help doctors act faster to prevent complications.
This study tests a home monitoring system for people who come to the ER or their doctor with a serious infection that could turn into sepsis. The goal is to see if watching you at home can help catch worsening signs early and prevent hospitalization.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors find out if ICU patients with infections are likely to develop sepsis within the next 48 hours. If you join, the researchers will measure a protein in your blood and follow you to see if you get sepsis.
