What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating a telemedicine system designed for continuous monitoring of body temperature in adults who have fever. This pilot study is nonrandomized and conducted at a single center, aiming to assess both the effectiveness and safety of the device. Up to 40 adults hospitalized for infections or other conditions causing temperature changes will participate, with no randomization or stratification of participants. The investigational device will be placed in the armpit area and connected to a mobile phone to continuously record temperature readings. Study staff will also manually measure skin temperature in the opposite armpit using a gallium thermometer every 30 to 60 minutes, increasing frequency if the temperature rises or if temperature-lowering drugs are administered. The device will stay in place for up to 72 hours, followed by an additional 72-hour monitoring period after removal to observe for any side effects. Participants will be monitored closely by research staff during device placement and after removal, with temperature checks and safety evaluations continuing throughout the six-day period. The main measurement is the correlation between the telemedicine device readings and standard thermometer measurements over 72 hours. Researchers will also track any adverse events related to the device or procedures during the entire monitoring period.
