Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison between each of the vital signs measured by the sensors (heart rate, respiratory rate, cuffless blood pressure measurement, and oxygen saturation) and the standard (wired) monitoring system used in the ICU. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Occurrence of deterioration events requiring nurse intervention, and the "deterioration score" calculated by the system and hypothetical alarms generated by the test system depending on different thresholds for the score. Usability evaluation of the system from the patient's perspective as a questionnaire. | — |
