ICU‑Recover Box 2.0: smart home monitoring for people after an ICU stay.
The ICU-Recover Box: Using Smart Technology for Monitoring Health Status After ICU Admission Pilot Study 2.0
This pilot tests whether a home ICU‑Recover Box with smart sensors can help people recovering from an ICU stay detect problems early and support recovery during the year after discharge.

What this trial studies
This single‑center cohort pilot will provide 50 patients discharged from the ICU at Leiden University Medical Center with an ICU‑Recover Box before hospital discharge and follow them for up to 12 months. The Box uses connected sensors and smart technology to capture health data at home and alert clinicians to potential complications or need for earlier ambulatory care. The primary goal is to test feasibility and real‑world use of the devices and data flow in the post‑ICU population who required mechanical ventilation. Study procedures focus on usability, adherence, and whether the technology can reliably signal worsening health that might require escalation.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults (18+) who were admitted to the LUMC ICU for more than 24 hours, received mechanical ventilation, can use smart technology at home (Wi‑Fi and sufficient comprehension), speak English or Dutch, and are discharged from a LUMC ward to home or an extra‑hospital facility are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People discharged to another hospital, those receiving palliative care, minors, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, incapacitated adults, or patients without home internet or unable/unwilling to use smart technology are unlikely to benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the technology could help detect complications earlier, support recovery at home, improve quality of life, and reduce health care use and costs.
How similar studies have performed: Remote monitoring programs in other post‑discharge populations have shown promise for early detection and reduced utilization, but applying smart home monitoring specifically for ICU‑acquired weakness is relatively novel and not yet proven.
