Oxford tests 'Smart' hospital patches to catch patient deterioration before It's too late
NCT ID NCT05118477
Summary
This study tested whether small, wireless sensors worn by hospital patients could help nurses detect health declines faster than standard checks. 240 surgical patients at Oxford University Hospitals wore devices that continuously tracked vital signs like heart rate and oxygen levels. The goal was to see if this system could reliably alert staff to problems earlier, potentially improving patient recovery.
