Evaluation and Implementation of Mobile Tracking Devices to Increase Safety in Hospitalized Patients (MONITOR) (MONITOR)

June 9, 2022 updated by: Wuerzburg University Hospital

Evaluation and Implementation of Mobile Tracking Devices to Increase Safety in Hospitalized Patients - MONITOR 2022

The study investigates the technical feasibility of using mobile health trackers for monitoring of hospitalized patients. Therefore the measurement accuracy of several vital parameters in postoperative hospitalized patients will be compared to clinical gold standard. Factors that could have an influence on the measurement accuracy of the mobile sensors will be investigated.Furthermore patient compliance in continous use of mobile health trackers and technical feasibility of needed data flow will be analyzed. In addition, patients' activity levels are recorded and correlated with various clinical parameters.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
500

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
OTHER: postoperative Spot Measurements
Measurement of vital signs via 4 different tracking devices in the setting of post-anaesthesia care unit. Simultaneous collection of vital signs measured by the gold standard of clinical monitoring (ecg, blood-gas-analysis, invasive blood pressure, transmissive photoplethysmography).
Device: Mobile Tracking Device (one spot)
Patients will be fitted with 4 different tracking devices (Garmin Fenix 6 Pro®, Apple Watch 7®, FitBit Sense®, Withings ScanWatch®).
OTHER: Longitudinal postoperative Measurements
Continuous measurement of vital signs and activity level with tracking devices for the postoperative period in the patient ward up until 21 days postoperative.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement accuracy
