About this trial
Hospital patient monitoring in Europe is often intermittent, which can delay detection of clinical deterioration during hospitalization and after discharge. The WARD-EU study aims to describe current monitoring practices and to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the WARD-CSS (Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and Circulatory Distress - Clinical Support System), an algorithm-based continuous monitoring system. The study seeks to assess whether WARD-CSS can be integrated into routine hospital and post-discharge care to support earlier detection of patient deterioration and improved patient monitoring.
