Smart bed-exit alerts to keep cataract patients safe before surgery

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

In this randomized interventional study, adults awaiting cataract surgery are assigned to either a smart bed-exit alert system or standard nursing care during a 30–60 minute preoperative waiting period. The intervention uses a pressure-sensing mattress that detects bed-exit attempts and notifies nurses via audible and tablet alerts. Outcomes include nurse bedside visit frequency and direct nursing care time, as well as patient safety during the preoperative wait. The goal is to see if the smart system can reduce unnecessary bed exits and streamline nursing workflow without compromising care.
