NCT ID NCT06574867
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new wireless device called viQtor that continuously tracks vital signs like heart rate and breathing in 500 patients after surgery. The goal was to see if it helps nurses catch problems earlier and reduces the need for manual checks. The device was used on a surgical ward in the Netherlands over 7 months.
