Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and Circulatory Distress - Europe

Hospital patient monitoring in Europe is often intermittent, which can delay detection of clinical deterioration during hospitalization and after discharge. The WARD-EU study aims to describe current monitoring practices and to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the WARD-CSS (Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and Circulatory Distress - Clinical Support System), an algorithm-based continuous monitoring system. The study seeks to assess whether WARD-CSS can be integrated into routine hospital and post-discharge care to support earlier detection of patient deterioration and improved patient monitoring.

UMMS Sepsis Early Prediction Score (SEPSys) and RESCUE Score Combined Clinical Trial

This study is designed to test two new risk scores - one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of developing sepsis and one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of deterioration (cardiac arrest, death, unplanned ICU transfer, or rapid response team call). The goal of this study is to improve provider awareness of a patient's risk of these two negative outcomes by providing them with new risk scores. The primary outcome will be the time from when the risk score becomes elevated to when vital signs such as heart rate or blood pressure are measured, suggesting an increased awareness.
