What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether cameras, motion sensors, and other monitors can automatically detect signs of pain, delirium, and physical decline in critically ill patients. Researchers will collect video, movement, noise, light, and vital sign data from 400 adults in the ICU. The goal is to train artificial intelligence to recognize these conditions more consistently than busy nurses can. If it works, the system could alert staff to problems earlier and improve patient care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to an AI system that automatically detects pain, delirium, and physical decline in ICU patients, helping doctors intervene earlier.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study focused on developing algorithms, not testing a treatment. The AI may not be accurate enough for real-world use, and privacy concerns around continuous video monitoring exist.
