Wireless NIRS Sensor Use in the NICU for Monitoring on Neonates

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

This study tests a wireless near-infrared spectroscopy sensor placed on the infant’s forehead for four hours over two consecutive days, alongside the standard wired NIRS sensor. The sensor is re-applied and timing of removal, re-application, and skin condition are recorded by the research team. The aim is to correlate signal disruption with nursing care events such as skin checks and sensor changes. Only infants meeting the eligibility criteria and stable enough for participation are included, with safety and skin integrity monitored. No control group is described as the focus is on sensor feasibility and data alignment with routine care.
