About this study

The current study aims to investigate the feasibility of transmitting continuous and wireless vital sign data in real time from patients home to the hospital in patients discharged after an acute medical hospitalization

Read the detailed description

The healthcare system is challenged by an aging patient population with chronic diseases, and acute admissions must be housed in hospitals with fewer beds and less staff resources. This increases the need for earlier discharge and for treatment shifted to the patients' own home. Furthermore, the transition from the hospital to the home setting is one of potential hazard, due to the lack of observation and intervention possibilities.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of wireless, continuous monitoring of patients in the days around discharge after an acute medical hospitalization, as well as occurrence of deviating vital signs i in the patients' own homes during the first days after discharge. Data will be transmitted continuously in real time from patient's homes to mobile applications for portable handheld devices such as healthcare personnel's smartphones.

What participants receive

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

  • Wireless and continuously monitoringDevice

    Included patients are monitored with WARD equipment during the last part of hospitalization and the first days after discharge with data transmitted in real time to personnel at the hospital. Monitoring will last for a maximum of 72 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vital Sign Monitoring and Clinical Deterioration, run by Bispebjerg Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. 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 Denmark. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of data collection from the Lifetouch patch (time frame: Up to 72 hours of monitoring). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Sep 2023.
