NCT ID NCT07477886
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study equips hospital rooms with cameras, microphones, and temperature sensors to monitor cancer patients for early signs of delirium, falls, sleep trouble, or mood changes. Researchers hope this technology helps nurses and doctors spot problems sooner and improve patient safety. About 134 hospitalized cancer patients and their clinicians will take part at Mayo Clinic.
