What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and accessibility of the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) platform, which includes various monitoring technologies, in both hospital and home settings for older adults. The study will involve inpatients from the Acute Care for Elderly Unit and will assess how well the device can be integrated into their care. The goal is to determine if this technology can effectively monitor vital signs continuously and improve patient care.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are older adults who are inpatients on the Acute Care for Elderly ward.
Not a fit: Patients with moderate to severe dementia or delirium, or those unable to use the monitoring device, will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the management of vital signs in older adults, leading to better health outcomes and timely interventions.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using continuous monitoring technologies for older adults, suggesting potential success for this approach.
