First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small, sticky chest sensor called PneumoRator that measures breathing rate continuously. Researchers will put it on 50 adults before major surgery and compare its readings to standard hospital monitors. The goal is to see if the device is accurate and comfortable enough for everyday hospital use.
