What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and accessibility of the Continuous Connected Patient Care (CCPC) platform, which includes a novel device for continuous vital signs monitoring, in both hospital and home settings. It focuses on patients who have undergone non-cardiac surgery and are being monitored in the Surgical High Acuity Unit or by the Anesthesia Perioperative Outreach team. The study will assess how well the device functions in real-world scenarios and its effectiveness in improving patient care during recovery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 19 and older who have undergone non-cardiac surgery requiring an inpatient stay at Saint Pauls Hospital.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to consent, do not have access to necessary technology, or are discharged to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance post-operative monitoring and improve patient outcomes by enabling continuous tracking of vital signs.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing patient monitoring and care, suggesting potential for success.
