Wearable Smart Sensors for ICU Patients

This study is looking at how well wireless wearable vital sign monitors work to continuously measure important health signs like blood pressure in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). These monitors are placed on your limbs for up to 48 hours. The goal is to develop new, comfortable electronic devices that can constantly track your health without needing invasive procedures. This study is for patients under 18 years old who are in an ICU at Lurie Children's or Prentice Women's Hospital, or for patients under 18 who can visit the Center for Autonomic Medicine in Pediatrics (CAMP) for a single visit. The study aims to enroll 500 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study involving 500 participants. It compares standard vital sign monitoring to data collected using new wearable sensors.
What's involved
If you are in the ICU, multiple wearable sensors (up to 5) will be placed on you for up to 48 hours. If you are not in the ICU, you will have a one-time study visit.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring will be measured for up to 48 hours.
