The study investigates the monitoring of vital signs in hospitalized patients with limited mobility or high care needs. This group of patients is often bedridden due to acute or chronic illnesses and requires stringent monitoring for the early detection of critical changes in vital parameters (e.g., heart rate, respiratory rate). The aim is to improve the quality of service and reduce the workload of nursing staff.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the suitability of the Neteera system in different clinical care contexts. Intention to use the device and practical applicability will be examined by nursing professionals. - Measurement accuracy: Comparison of vital parameters recorded by Neteera with standard measurements in different clinical settings (e.g., acute and peripheral wards). - Intended use and applicability: Evaluation of the reduction in workload and increase in efficiency for nursing staff. - Implementation requirements: Identification of challenges in integrating the system into clinical routines based on the Technological Usage Inventory (TUI). - Analysis of deviations: Documentation and evaluation of measurement differences and consistency of Neteera data with established standard devices. Measured variables: - Intention to use (TUI score) - Measurement accuracy (deviation from standard values) - Feasibility and integration (number of documented challenges) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints of the study include the time required to use the Neteera system and the practical experience of the nursing staff. - Time required for measurements: Duration of data collection with Neteera compared to conventional monitoring systems. - Subjectively perceived time savings: Assessment by nursing staff of the reduction in workload and increase in efficiency. - User-friendliness and workload: Evaluation of the practicality of the system in everyday clinical practice, including handling, ease of use, and technical support. Measured variables: - Average measurement time per patient, - Self-assessments of time savings, - Workload and user-friendliness (questionnaire, e.g., System Usability Scale, SUS). | — |
