Automated Versus Manual Oxygen Titration With the EMILY.AI Device in Hospitalized Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

9 listopada 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Aether Tech S.L.

Functional, Clinical, and Predictive Validation Study of the EMILY AI Device in Patients With Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure: Randomized Substudy in a Conventional Hospital Ward

This randomized study evaluates EMILY.AI, an investigational (non-CE-marked) smart oxygen valve that automatically adjusts the oxygen flow delivered to a patient, second by second, according to oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate and respiratory rate measured by a pulse oximeter.

Adults admitted to the pulmonology ward of Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz (Madrid, Spain) with acute respiratory failure are randomly assigned to receive oxygen titrated automatically by EMILY.AI or oxygen managed as usual by the nursing team, from randomization until hospital discharge. All participants wear the device; in the usual-care group it only records data.

The study compares the time patients stay within their target saturation range, episodes of low and high oxygen, nursing workload, oxygen use, length of stay and patient experience. This substudy is part of clinical investigation FJD-EMILY-23-02, whose other substudies are registered in separate records.

Szczegółowy opis

Background On conventional hospital wards, oxygen is usually given at a fixed flow and saturation is checked about once per nursing shift, so periods of hypoxaemia or hyperoxaemia can go undetected. EMILY.AI combines a medical-grade oxygen valve with an edge-computing fuzzy-logic algorithm that sets the oxygen flow every second, with continuous logging of physiological signals and delivered flow.

Design Prospective, single-blind (participant), randomized, parallel-group study. Participants are randomized 1:1 to the EMILY arm (automatic titration) or the MANUAL arm (usual care with nursing monitoring every 8 hours and a fixed oxygen prescription), using permuted blocks of 4 stratified by main admission diagnosis (COPD exacerbation, pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, other) and prior long-term home oxygen therapy (yes or no). Allocation takes place after eligibility is confirmed and informed consent is signed.

Intervention and follow-up All participants are connected to the EMILY.AI device continuously from randomization until hospital discharge. In the EMILY arm the device titrates oxygen autonomously to keep SpO2 within the target range for the type of respiratory failure (hypoxaemic 91-97%; hypercapnic 91-94%). In the MANUAL arm the device works in fixed mode, recording SpO2, heart rate and respiratory rate without changing the flow, and nurses adjust oxygen as usual. Conventional back-up oxygen is available at all times.

Sample size 100 participants: 80 planned for the main comparison and approximately 20 added by protocol amendment (CIP v8.0) to further validate an adjustment of the algorithm parameter that sets the minimum oxygen flow in hypoxaemic patients. All 100 are randomized in the same way. As a pilot functional validation, no formal sample size calculation was performed.

The protocol FJD-EMILY-23-02 also includes a substudy in the Respiratory Intermediate Care Unit and an exercise substudy (six-minute walk test), registered separately.

Opis

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men and women aged 18 years or older.
  • Admitted to the general pulmonology ward (Unit 67) of Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz.
  • Acute respiratory failure, defined as baseline arterial PaO2 below 60 mmHg or the need for supplemental oxygen to maintain SpO2 above 90%. Patients on long-term oxygen therapy are eligible if a clinical deterioration requires a higher-than-usual oxygen flow to maintain SpO2 above 90%.
  • Signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anatomical abnormalities preventing correct placement of the pulse oximeter.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (women of childbearing potential require a negative pregnancy test at screening).
  • Need for non-invasive ventilation or high-flow nasal cannula at admission.
  • Palliative care or limitation of therapeutic effort at admission.
  • Expected hospital stay under 48 hours.
  • Clinical situations expected to determine length of stay independently of oxygen therapy, such as intravenous antibiotics for more than 10 days, scheduled interventional or surgical procedures, active social care needs that may delay discharge, a non-respiratory main admission diagnosis, or acute or decompensated non-respiratory comorbidities.
  • Known or suspected carbon monoxide poisoning or methemoglobinemia.
  • Severe hypercapnia with decompensated respiratory acidosis (pH below 7.30), hemodynamic instability requiring vasoactive drugs, or severe sepsis at admission.
  • Cognitive impairment, behavioral disorder or any circumstance preventing proper use of the device or compliance with study procedures.
  • Simultaneous participation in another interventional clinical trial, or readmission of a patient previously included in this study.
