ICU‑Recover Box 2.0: smart home monitoring for people after an ICU stay.

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 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.
