About this study

The study is designed to test the DynaSense system, which is a patient movement and orientation monitoring system. The study is intended to determine that:

  • the DynaSense system identifies patients that are not turning adequately on their own and therefore require caregiver-assisted turns.
  • the DynaSense system identifies patients that are turning adequately on their own and therefore do not require a caregiver-assisted turn.
  • the DynaSense system helps ensure compliance with an institution's established patient turning protocol.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety Primary Endpoint

    The safety primary endpoint is to assess safety by documenting the number, type, and severity of side effects and adverse events.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for the length of hospital stay which is expected to average 5 days, or until resolution of ADE.

  2. Turn Protocol Compliance

    The primary clinical efficacy endpoint is to assess the change in turning protocol compliance after implementation of the DynaSense system.

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for the length of hospital stay which is expected to average 5 days.
