Evaluation of a New Contactless Camera System for Measuring Vital Signs Including Blood Pressure, Pulse, Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation, and Body Temperature In Adults Aged 18 and Older in Primary and Secondary Care

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new camera-based system called RIA-VS for measuring vital signs without physical contact. This study aims to reduce the risk of infection transfer that can occur with traditional contact-based devices while accurately capturing important signs like pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature. The project includes a focus on device validity and reliability across different patient groups, including those with various skin types. The study includes three parts one assessing the devices accuracy in measuring body temperature, another evaluating all vital signs except body temperature, and a third examining differences in device performance among people with different skin tones. Participants will have their vital signs measured both with conventional methods and the new camera-based device, called RIA-VS. Measurements are taken with about a 5-minute delay between methods to compare results. Participants aged 18 years and older attending primary or secondary healthcare will be involved. They will provide informed consent and have vital signs measured using both standard techniques and the RIA-VS device. The study will measure agreement between conventional methods and the new device, test-retest reliability, and the influence of skin type on measurement accuracy. The safety and timing impact on patient care are also monitored, with study procedures designed not to delay treatment by more than 15-20 minutes.
