Continuous vital sign monitoring in a surgical ward
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be admitted to the gastro-surgical ward (for stomach or bowel surgery).
- You cannot have delirium or confusion that would interfere with using a small sensor.
- No allergy to the sticky pads (electrode adhesives) used to attach the sensor.
- You must agree to take part in the study.

This study tests a home monitoring system for people who have recently had surgery. You use a smartphone or tablet to send health information, like heart rate or blood pressure, to your care team from home. It may help catch problems early without you having to go back to the hospital.
This study tests a wireless monitoring system that tracks breathing and heart health for patients in the hospital or at home after discharge. It aims to detect problems early so they can be treated quickly.
This trial compares continuous vital sign monitoring with standard spot checks for patients recovering from non-cardiac surgery. It aims to see if constant monitoring can improve safety and outcomes.
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 study tests new wireless body sensors that can keep track of your breathing and heart rate while you're in the hospital. The goal is to see if these sensors can alert doctors earlier when your condition might be getting worse.
This study tests a system that constantly watches your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) after urological surgery, to catch problems early. It's for people who are not expected to need the Intensive Care Unit after their operation.
