Could a sticker replace wires? wireless sensor for Kids' vital signs put to the test
NCT ID NCT07739823
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates a wireless, skin-adherent sensor called ANNE® Chest for continuous monitoring of heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature in hospitalized children from birth to 12 years old. The sensor's readings will be compared to standard bedside monitors to check its accuracy, safety, and comfort. If successful, it could offer a less intrusive way to track vital signs in pediatric intensive care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ANNE® Chest wireless skin-adherent sensor
- What this could lead to
- If validated, this wireless sensor could replace bulky wired monitors, making vital sign tracking in hospitalized children more comfortable and less restrictive.
- What could go wrong
- The sensor may not match the accuracy of standard monitors, or it could cause skin irritation. This is an early validation study, so success is not guaranteed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Neonates (0-28 days of life) * Infants (29 days of life - 2 years, i.e., not turned 2 years old) * Children (2 years old - 12 years old, i.e., not turned 12 years old) Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to application of skin sensors (e.g., rash, surgical site, skin breakdown, open wounds, burns, active dermatitis, etc.) at the application site. * Severe hemodynamic instability requiring escalating interventions. * Congenital airway abnormalities interfere with accurate capnography. * Diagnosed neuromuscular disorders affecting respiratory mechanics. * Known adhesive allergies. * Inability to tolerate device placement due to behavioral issues. * Participation in conflicting clinical trials. * High-frequency oscillatory or mechanical ventilation. * Active bronchiolitis with mask intolerance. * Recent facial surgery preventing EtCO₂ nasal line placement. * Behavioral conditions preventing adherence to device wearing.
