What this trial studies
This study aims to develop and evaluate biocompatible wireless electronic devices for continuous, non-invasive measurement of vital signs in ICU patients. It involves screening ICU patients based on specific criteria and applying multiple wearable sensors to gather data on hemodynamics and physiology. The data collected from these novel sensors will be compared to standard monitoring devices to determine their effectiveness in different locations on the body. The study will include both ICU and non-ICU pediatric patients under 18 years of age.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pediatric patients under 18 years of age admitted to the ICU or willing to visit the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics.
Not a fit: Patients who are 18 years of age or older or those with skin abnormalities that increase the risk of device use may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved monitoring of vital signs in critically ill pediatric patients, enhancing patient care and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using wearable technology for monitoring vital signs, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
