This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing whether wearable sensors on the chest and fingers can detect early signs of patient decline after major surgery. Over 1,300 adults in eight countries will wear the sensors before, during, and after their operation for up to 10 days. The data will be used to design algorithms that might one day alert doctors to complications sooner. For now, the sensor data is only being collected and analyzed—it does not change patient care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Wearable wireless sensor (chest and finger patches)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to an early warning system that helps doctors spot complications sooner after surgery, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study—sensor data is not used to guide patient care yet. The algorithms developed may not work in real-world settings or may produce too many false alarms.
