Summary

This study checks if it's possible to send some hospital patients home early and monitor them remotely using a smartphone app and vital sign tracking. Researchers want to see if at least 30% of eligible patients can safely use this virtual ward. The goal is to reduce hospital stays while keeping care quality high.
