Alert Frequency, Nurse, and Patient Satisfaction With a Continuous Wireless Vital Sign Monitoring Software Across Health Care Systems and Cultures

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate the functionality and user experience of a new wireless, continuous vital sign monitoring system across multiple international hospital centers. It includes patients admitted for surgery lasting more than two hours or acute medical conditions with specific vital sign deviations. The study also explores current hospital monitoring practices and assesses nurse and patient satisfaction with the monitoring system. Patients will be monitored using validated FDA or CE approved wireless devices such as Sotera Visimobile or Isansys Lifeguard, paired with the CE approved WARD web and mobile application. Monitoring will occur for 4 days after surgery or acute admission and continue until discharge. Nurses responsible for patients during full shifts will provide feedback through questionnaires. Participants will undergo standard vital sign monitoring alongside the new system. Researchers will collect data on alert frequencies, technical feasibility, alert responses, and patient experiences using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Monitoring practices before system use will also be reviewed. The main outcome is the frequency of alerts activated versus expected alerts during about three months of monitoring.
