Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This study tests whether a wireless monitoring system that tracks heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing, and blood pressure can help prevent deaths and serious complications in hospital patients. Over 13,000 adults admitted to general wards will be monitored continuously. The goal is to see if early detection of deterioration reduces deaths, cardiac arrests, and the need for intensive care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
wireless monitoring system (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could become a standard way to continuously monitor hospital patients, potentially preventing many deaths and emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but the device itself does not treat disease—it only alerts staff. Benefits depend on how quickly staff respond, and results may vary across hospitals.
