The Use of the Bambi-Belt in Exteremly Preterm Infants: an Implementation Study.

This observational, non-interventional cohort study evaluates the clinical use of the Bambi Belt-a CE-certified, wireless device for non-invasive heart rate and respiration monitoring-in extremely preterm infants (\<26 weeks gestation). 15 infants with intact skin and age \<24 hours will be monitored using the Bambi Belt during the first ten days of life. Primary outcomes include ease of use (application, signal stability), skin tolerance, and user experience (nurses and parents). Standard care remains unchanged. Data will be collected via clinical records and evaluation forms.

Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0 External Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to collect and assess feedback from the users regarding the functionality and performance of the Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0. In addition, this study aims to collect raw parameter data from the investigational devices for use in current and future Portrait Mobile development, including engineering purposes as deemed appropriate by the Sponsor.

Comparison of Hemodynamic Variables Between Using Conventional Invasive Catheter Monitoring and Non-invasive Piezoelectric Sensor

Arterial pressure is obtained from invasive arterial monitoring and noninvasive arterial monitoring using piezoelectric sensor and compared.

Feasibility Study: Continuous Fetal Monitoring During Maternal Exercise

This feasibility study will be the first study to assess the feasibility of continuous electrophysiological monitoring during maternal exercise in women with an uncomplicated pregnancy. This may help to better understand fetal condition during exercise and offer personalised exercise recommendations in the future. In future, validating the feasibility and safety of exercise could promote greater exercise engagement among pregnant women and increase fetal wellbeiing.

Correlation Between Noninvasive Blood Vessel Functionality Parameters and Cerebral Hemodynamics in Neurocritical Care Patients

The purpose of this clinical research project is to employ Mespere LifeSciences NeurOs Cerebral Oximetry system, equipped with noninvasive sensors approved by the FDA, to monitor and investigate the correlation within a cohort of patients suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, brain tumor, and brain bleeding. This study aims to investigate and establish the correlation between blood vessel functionality parameters-specifically, Vasodilation/Constriction Index (VDC), Vascular Resistance Index (VR), and Volume Reactivity Index (VRx)-with the crucial physiological indicators, Intracranial Pressure (ICP) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP). By doing so, the investigators seek to address fundamental questions surrounding cerebral hemodynamics and autoregulation in various neurological conditions.

Correlation Between Sedation Depth Monitoring and Reflexes During Intravenous Anesthesia With Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in Children Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy for Surgical Procedures

This study evaluates the correlation between sedation depth monitoring obtained by NeuroSENSE ® NS 701 Monitor and reflexes during intravenous anesthesia in children undergoing direct laryngoscopy for surgical procedures.

Home Monitoring in Hemophilia a

Rationale: A novel point-of-care device capable of measuring factor VIII (FVIII) activity and thrombin generation (TG) is currently under development. Utilization of this device in a home situation could potentially transform hemophilia care and improve patients' autonomy. Objective: To explore the potential consequences of home monitoring of hemostatic parameters in patients with hemophilia A Study design: Cross-sectional observational study consisting of semi-structured interviews and focus groups Study population: Approximately 10 patients treated with vitamin K antagonists engaging in self-monitoring of coagulation at home and approximately 20 patients with hemophilia A. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome of this study is to assess series of interrelated themes related to the unmet needs of hemophilia patients and the envisioned potential consequences of home monitoring on these unmet needs. Secondary outcomes include: identifying key features of a home monitoring platform to be used in hemophilia care, describing the experienced consequences of implementing home self-monitoring in anticoagulation treatment, assessing the current experiences of patients with self-monitoring, and providing an overview of the burdens and unmet needs experienced by patients with hemophilia with current hemophilia care. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The risk associated with participation in this study is negligible. Minor patients will be included in this study only if informed consent is given by both the patient and his/her caregiver (in patients between 12-16 years old). Gathering the insights of caregivers of minor patients on the current care for hemophilia and potential consequences of home self-monitoring is vital, as their experiences and needs might differ significantly from older patients. Participating in this study does not entail direct benefits. However, patients who participate can contribute to the development of future monitoring systems, which have the potential to alleviate the current burden of their disease and treatment.

Evaluation of the viQtor Monitoring Solution on Surgical Wards

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.
