Sticky neck sensor could sound alarm on opioid overdose risk

NCT ID NCT06442488

Summary

This study tested a small, wireless sensor that sticks to the neck to monitor breathing. Researchers wanted to see if it could accurately measure breathing rate and detect pauses in breathing, especially in noisy environments like hospitals. The goal is to create a better tool to warn doctors early if a patient's breathing becomes dangerously slow, which can happen with strong pain medications like opioids.
