Summary
This pilot study tests a new system that continuously monitors vital signs in older adults, both in the hospital and at home. The goal is to see if the system is easy to use and reliable, and to gather feedback from patients and clinicians. Only 15 participants will be enrolled, so this is a small early test of feasibility.
