About this study

Official title: Study Protocol for Evaluation of EarlySense Home Care Tele-monitoring Device - A Contact-Free System for Measuring Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate and Motion For Early Detection of Deterioration For Cardiac Patients at Home

The aims of the present study are to evaluate the information obtained by the EarlySenese monitoring system and examine correlation of the obtained data and clinical events.

Read the detailed description

The EarlySense Home Care System developed by EarlySense, Ltd., is a contact-less tele-monitoring system. The system is intended for continuous monitoring of patients' respiration rate, heart rate and patient's motion.

The system, which monitors the patient while in bed, consists of a piezoelectric sensor that produces an electrical signal in response to physiological stimulation, and a microprocessor control unit that analyzes the recorded signal and identifies respiratory and heart rates and patient motion, while patient is in bed,. In addition, the system indicates patient's in or out of bed status. The system also provides alerts if either of the physiological parameters cross predefined threshold settings (e.g., high/ low heart rate or respiratory rate, or motion or time in bed).

The system saves patient's parameters and then flags the patients, as those to have changes in their vital signs and motion, or those that do not have noteworthy changes during recent hours of monitoring. Flagging of the patients are based on changes detected in patients' baseline vital signs (heart and respiratory rates and patterns) and well as recognition of changes in patients motion and in and out of bed status in comparison to set thresholds.

The aim of this study is to evaluate relevance of the information (vital sign trends, alerts and flags) as provided by the EarlySense Home Care Tele-monitoring system to medical staff in Sheba Medical Center's Heart Rehabilitation Institute (Shelev) in order proactively monitor patients at home. The correlation between the EarlySense system alerts and flags to patient deterioration and hospital readmission will be studied.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home MonitoringOther

    Non invasive nocturnal monitoring of heart and respiratory rate and subjects movement out of bed.

Study groups in NCT02318004
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Home monitoringExperimentalHome monitoring via the EarlySense non-invasive nocturnal monitoring system. Movement, heart rate and respiratory rates will be monitored while subject is in his bed. The trends of monitored values will be daily reported to a central repository. No intervention will be attempted and care will be coordinated by the family physician and treating cardiologist as usual.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnositic Utility

    Positive percent agreement between the EarlySense device and clinical events as adjudicated by health-care personal

    Measured: 30 days following enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. System Acceptance

    Assess the acceptability of the EarlySense Home care device by clinicians and by patients and their families in their own home as determined by a provided questioner.

    Measured: 30 days following enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home Monitoring in people with Myocardial Infarction and Cardiac Surgery, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Robert Klempfner, MD (klempfner@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnositic Utility (time frame: 30 days following enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02318004, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
