What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the use of ambient sensing rooms to monitor hospitalized cancer patients in order to improve patient safety and recovery. Hospitalization can increase risks such as acute confusion (delirium), falls, sleep problems, and mood changes. These special rooms use technology like video cameras, audio recorders, and temperature sensors to observe the environment and patient conditions, aiming to help healthcare providers notice problems early and provide better care. During the study, patients stay in rooms equipped with ambient sensing technology that continuously collects data throughout their hospitalization. Participants complete questionnaires, take part in interviews, and have their medical records reviewed. Clinicians involved in the study participate in focus groups to provide their perspectives. The study observes patients and clinicians without any intervention. Participants will be monitored for up to one year to capture their complete hospital timeline. Researchers will review the collected sensor data, questionnaire responses, interviews, and medical records to assess how well the ambient sensing technology detects early signs of adverse events. The study involves ongoing evaluations to understand patient safety and comfort while hospitalized with cancer.
