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 recovering from surgery. It uses a smartphone or tablet to track your recovery without needing to go to the hospital as often.
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.
This trial is testing a wearable monitor that keeps track of your vital signs after surgery. It is for people who are having non-cardiac surgery and have certain health risks, and will help doctors spot problems early.
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 study tests a new device that tracks your vital signs (like heart rate and oxygen levels) continuously after surgery, even when you go home. It may help doctors catch problems early and improve your recovery.
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.
