What the study statuses mean

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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests whether a wrist-worn activity monitor can help doctors understand how people recover after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). 40 adults who spent more than a week in the ICU will wear the device for two months at home and answer health questionnaires. The goal is to see if movement data relates to symptoms like pain, anxiety, and daily function, and whether the device is practical for home use.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
wrist-worn activity monitor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable devices help doctors monitor recovery at home and catch issues like pain or anxiety early after ICU discharge.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants and no comparison group. It may not prove that the device improves outcomes, only that data collection is possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older * Mechanical ventilation for more than 3 days * Total ICU length of stay greater than 7 days * Classified as "High Risk" using a validated High-Risk Tool\* * Expected to be discharged from hospital within the next several days Exclusion Criteria: * Primary neurological diagnosis as the reason for ICU admission * Identified by the clinical team as being on the palliative care pathway * Physical activity primarily limited by the acute injury (e.g., major trauma or limb amputation) * Unable to mobilise independently prior to the index hospitalisation requiring ICU admission due to a long-term condition and/or disability * Lack of capacity or inability to provide informed consent * The High-Risk Tool (Walsh et al., 2022) assesses eight domains: recent hospital admissions; multimorbidity (≥4 chronic conditions); polypharmacy (≥4 regular medications); prior mental health disorder; substance misuse history; current antidepressant or antipsychotic therapy; need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs); and living alone or fragile social circumstances. Patients meeting ≥3 domains are classified as high risk for post-ICU deterioration and readmission.
