Randomized controlled trial of a time motion study of time spent obtaining and charting vital signs for inpatients, comparing use of a wireless Bluetooth vital sign array as intervention versus routine vital sign obtainment activity on a general medical floor.
A randomized trial of remote blood pressure monitoring, compared to usual care, in patients receiving bevacizumab to determine whether remote blood pressure monitoring improves the collection of blood pressure data, identification and management of clinically significant hypertension, and patient satisfaction.
This study will look to validate predictive algorithms developed in a previous study where we collected relevant data from trauma registry and after using advanced signal-processing and machine-learning, determined prediction scores regarding neuroworsening and other outcomes following traumatic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to develop biocompatible wireless electronic devices that will allow continuous, non-invasive hemodynamic and physiology measurements in the ICU.
This study evaluates the feasibility and usability of continuous wireless vital sign monitoring of well newborns during their birth hospitalization.
Previous studies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic show that cardiovascular and blood pressure assessment by physical therapists is inadequate or lacking despite prior training. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory function may become more critical as the manifestation of long COVID has become a concern. The purpose of this study is to determine whether physical therapists' attitudes and beliefs towards vital sign assessment have changed following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of this prospective, international multi-centre pilot study is to assess the functionality and user experience of a new vital sign monitoring system in 20 patients and 20 nurses in the general ward at each centre. The patients will be monitored with a wireless, continuous vital sign monitoring systems and answer a questionnaire afterwards. They will in addition have vital signs monitored as per standard practice. The nurses will answer a questionnaire after having had the responsibility for a monitored patient for a full shift. The main aims are: To determine the frequency of alerts activated in the app in relation to the alerts that should be activated based on measured data, to explore current practices of in-hospital monitoring by semi-structured interviews to map differences across systems and to test nurse and patient satisfaction.
The investigators plan to determine whether unblinded continuous ward monitoring with the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution and nursing alerts reduces vital sign abnormalities in patients recovering from major noncardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safe wearability and basic functions of the multi-modality sensors fabricated in the PI lab.
Infants born prematurely at will be asked to participate in this randomized controlled trial at a corrected gestational age of 24-37 weeks. Infants will be randomly selected to each of the two groups: intervention and control. Infants in the treatment group will receive six intervention days over a two-week period, 3 sessions per week. Each intervention day consists of each of the two interventions in a random sequence: no intervention/silence and live ocean disc instrument intervention. The sound decibel level will also be recorded and maintained at 40-65dB to prevent overstimulation. Each infant will thus receive control and ocean disc intervention on the same day in the NICU. Interventions will be given in a randomized order (i.e., first ocean disc or first silence, randomized to AM or PM), with observation occurring for 10 minutes before each intervention, 15 minutes during each intervention, and 10 minutes after each per session. There will be 3 sessions per week for a two-week randomized treatment schedule. For each infant, data on total apnea time, mean respiratory rate, heart rate, O2 levels and behavior rating during will be collected. The sound decibel level will also be recorded and maintained at 40-65dB to prevent overstimulation and hearing damage. Near-infrared light spectroscopy (NIRS) data on cerebral oxygenation will also be collected. Observations will be recorded on the infant's activity or when change occurs, such as a pacifier falling out. Parents and nurses will be asked to behave as they normally would during routine care.
