Hospital Based Continuous Patient Monitoring System
Implementing a Hospital-based Continuous Patient Monitoring System Using Consumer Wearable Devices in Ghana
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
In Ghana, and many other low and middle income countries in Africa, manual vital signs monitoring is the prevalent mode of vital signs monitoring because continuous bedside monitors are non-functional. This lack of continuous vital signs monitoring may result in missed opportunities to catch physiologic deterioration. The investigators propose to develop a dashboard that is based on the Garmin Venu 3, a consumer wearable device that reliably measures heart rate, SPO2, and respiratory rate, as an alternative to bedside monitors in hospitals in Ghana.
