Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Patient Safety Monitoring Post-operative Monitoring Healthcare Technology Implementation Contiuous Vital Signs Monitoring

Summary

The REQUEST study aims to evaluate the use of a new wireless monitoring device, called the viQtor solution, on a surgical ward in Catharina Hospital Eindhoven. This device continuously tracks vital signs, such as heart rate, breathing rate, and blood oxygen levels, in patients after surgery. The goal is to see if the viQtor solution can help detect health problems earlier and reduce the workload for nurses by minimizing the need for manual checks. The study will involve 500 patients and will take place over 7 months.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

Adult patients (18 years and older).
Patients admitted to the surgical ward at Catharina Hospital Eindhoven.
Fluent in Dutch or English.
Willingness to participate in the study and to wear the viQtor monitoring device during their hospital stay.

Exclusion Criteria6

Patients with cognitive impairments.
Patients with allergies to metal or plastics.
Patients with significant deformities, swelling, irritation, degenerative changes, or edema of the upper arm.
Patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers, internal cardioverter defibrillators, or chronic resynchronization therapy devices.
Patients at risk of vascular compromise of the arm on which the device will be placed.
Patients with conditions that contraindicate the use of a blood pressure cuff or similar devices.

Interventions

DEVICEviQtor Wearable Monitoring Device

The viQtor device is a wearable medical device designed for continuous monitoring of vital signs, including heart rate (PR), respiratory rate (RR), and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). It is worn on the upper arm and transmits data wirelessly to a cloud-based platform. This device is being evaluated as part of the standard monitoring protocol for post-operative patients in a surgical ward setting.
