Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and error rate of the Heart Rate (HR), Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP/DBP), and Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) estimates obtained by the medical device based on photoplethysmography (PPG) under evaluation are expected to be in agreement with the non-invasive gold-standard equipment used in routine hospital triage.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The device under evaluation is expected to present reliability of the obtained data across different phenotypic and demographic characteristics of the population.;The device under evaluation is expected to present good acceptability, ease of handling, and the technology is not expected to introduce workload overhead in the dynamic environment of hospital triage.
