Wearable device aims to spot trouble before It's too late for ICU survivors
NCT ID NCT06815718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable device called viQtor on 180 adults who had just left the ICU. The device continuously tracks heart rate, breathing rate, oxygen levels, and activity. The goal was to create a new early warning score that could alert nurses sooner if a patient's condition worsens, compared to standard checks. The study is now complete and focused on developing and validating this scoring system.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- viQtor continuous monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a better early warning system for patients leaving the ICU, potentially reducing emergency interventions and readmissions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study focused on developing a scoring system, not testing a treatment. The device may not improve outcomes in real-world use.
