NCT ID NCT06784011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether activity sensors can be easily used in hospitals to track how much patients move. 19 hospitalized adults who could walk but were on bed rest wore the sensors. Researchers measured how much extra time staff needed to use the sensors and how comfortable patients found them. The goal was to see if this technology could help reduce physical inactivity in hospitals.
