About this trial
The goal of this prospective, international multi-centre pilot study is to assess the functionality and user experience of a new vital sign monitoring system in 20 patients and 20 nurses in the general ward at each centre. The patients will be monitored with a wireless, continuous vital sign monitoring systems and answer a questionnaire afterwards. They will in addition have vital signs monitored as per standard practice. The nurses will answer a questionnaire after having had the responsibility for a monitored patient for a full shift. The main aims are: To determine the frequency of alerts activated in the app in relation to the alerts that should be activated based on measured data, to explore current practices of in-hospital monitoring by semi-structured interviews to map differences across systems and to test nurse and patient satisfaction.
