Summary

This study looks at whether using wearable sensors to continuously monitor vital signs in a hospital surgical ward can improve patient safety compared to standard intermittent checks. Researchers will track patient outcomes like emergency team calls and unplanned intensive care transfers, and also survey nursing staff about safety culture and their experiences with the new monitoring system. The study includes about 9,600 patients and healthcare workers in a Norwegian hospital.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Continuous vital sign monitoring (CVSM) using wearable sensors
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous monitoring helps detect patient deterioration earlier than standard checks, potentially improving safety in hospital wards.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. The intervention is already in use, and findings may not apply to other hospitals or settings.
