Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Infants admitted to the NICU who may be moved to another inpatient ward and for whom parental/guardian consent is obtained.
✕Probably not a fit
Infants on a palliative care pathway or whose guardians do not provide consent may not benefit from the study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study will enroll up to 256 critically ill or at-risk newborns in the NICU. Each infant will have heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO2, blood pressure, ECG, and temperature measured with standard equipment while also recording brief facial and upper-torso video clips at four intervals per hour. The videos, captured via a tablet app, will be uploaded to the cloud for separate analysis and will not provide measurements to clinicians or families. Sub-protocols will gather parent or guardian input through post-measurement questionnaires. Recording may last up to 120 seconds per event and up to three attempts may be made.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could provide a non-invasive method to supplement or corroborate bedside vital signs monitoring in neonates.
How similar studies have gone: Prior observational work in this area has explored non-contact methods for vital sign estimation, with mixed results and ongoing validation in clinical settings.
