Automating the assessment of delirium severity in ICU patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop a passive digital marker (PDM) to assess delirium severity in ICU patients over 50 years old. Participants will be monitored using bedside cameras for 24 hours a day, with study staff conducting assessments four times daily to compare the PDM's performance against established delirium severity tools. The study will evaluate the reliability of a trained convolutional neural network in measuring delirium severity and its acceptability among ICU staff and patients. The goal is to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of delirium assessments in critical care settings.
