Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0 External Evaluation

We are evaluating a new wireless monitoring device called Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0. This device is designed to continuously keep track of important health signs while you are in hospital. The main goal of this study is to get feedback from both patients and their doctors about how well the device works and how easy it is to use. We will also be collecting the health data that the device records. This information is very important because it will help the developers make improvements to the Portrait Mobile device, ensuring it is as effective and user-friendly as possible for patients in the future. Your input directly helps shape tomorrow's healthcare technology.

Monitoring

What is this study about?

Imagine a small, wearable device that could keep a continuous eye on your health while you're in hospital, without lots of wires. That's what the Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0 aims to do. This study is all about trying out this new version of the device to see how it performs in a real hospital setting. We want to understand what it's like for patients to wear, and for nurses and doctors to use.

Throughout the study, you'd wear the Portrait Mobile device, which quietly monitors your vital signs. This isn't just about collecting numbers; it's crucially about getting your personal experience. What did you think of it? Was it comfortable? Did it get in the way? Your answers, alongside observations from your care team, will give us valuable insights. This feedback is essential for making sure the device is practical and helpful for patients in the future.

Additionally, the study will collect the actual health data that the device records. This raw information helps the engineers and medical experts understand how accurately and reliably the device tracks various health indicators. Both your feedback and the collected data are vital puzzle pieces that will help improve the Portrait Mobile system, making it more effective and user-friendly for everyone it's designed to help.

Key takeaways

Help improve new wireless health monitoring technology.
Wear a small device for up to 3 days in hospital.
Share your feedback through a simple survey.
No new medicines or extra hospital visits involved.
Participation is completely optional and you can stop anytime.

Who may be eligible?

To be part of this study, you need to be an adult, aged 18 or older. You must be able to understand what the study involves and give your permission in writing to take part. You also need to be staying on a general hospital ward and expect to remain there for the entire time you're participating in the study. Importantly, you should be willing and able to follow the study instructions for its duration.

However, there are some reasons why you wouldn't be able to join. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the study isn't suitable for you. Also, if you have an infection that requires you to be isolated from others, or if your immune system is weakened, you wouldn't be able to participate. Finally, if you've been in this exact study before, or if you have a specific type of heart pacemaker called a 'Minute Ventilation Rate Responsive Pacemaker' (which can affect breath monitoring), you wouldn't be eligible to take part.

Could this study suit you?

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

Are you 18 years old or older?
Are you currently an inpatient on a general hospital ward?
Are you able to understand and sign a consent form?
Are you NOT pregnant or breastfeeding?
Do you NOT have an infection requiring isolation or a weakened immune system?
Do you NOT have a Minute Ventilation Rate Responsive pacemaker?

Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to take part, you would wear the Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution V2.0 continuously for up to 72 hours (that's three days) while you are in your hospital ward. This is a monitoring device, so there are no medications involved. Once the monitoring period is over, you will be asked to complete a short survey about your experience with the device. Your nurses or doctors will also complete a survey. There are no follow-up visits after you leave the hospital, and your total participation in the study will be finished once your monitoring period and survey are complete.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in this study offers the benefit of contributing to the development of new medical technology that could improve patient care in the future. As the device just monitors you, there are usually very few risks. There's a small chance of skin irritation from wearing the device, similar to a plaster. If you feel uncomfortable at any point or change your mind, you are completely free to withdraw from the study without giving a reason, and your medical care will not be affected in any way.
