Patient Transfer Monitoring System in Hospital Using Mobile IoT Technology

Overview

This trial is multi-center prospective study to develop Patient Transfer Monitoring system using mobile lot network and the Risk Factor Detection System and apply to real In-Hospital Patients and verify the efficacy.

Detailed Description

Hospitalized patients who need transfer for a diagnostic examination or rehabilitation therapy during hospitalization, and have a risk of hypoxemia during transfer will be enrolled in this trial. The subjects will be provided with a portable oximeter and a smart-phone which application for monitoring is installed, and oxygen saturation and pulse rate will be checked in real time during transfer. The collected data will be transferred to cloud system via Iot network, and the transmitted data will be monitored in real time via monitoring equipment in the (Patient-hospitalized) ward. If there is a risk, the alarm system is activated so that the medical team is able to check risk factor and manage it immediately. All the risk factors and severity will be collected during transfer, also these are checked whether the monitoring system and the data transmission system work properly or not, the time from detecting risk factor to medical response, the composition of medical staffs who responding to alarmed risk factors and improvement of the subjects. Pilot study will be conducted with 20 subjects in Asan medical center. In pilot study, monitoring machines (HR, SpO2 monitor) commonly used in wards or hospitals will be used to verify the stability of oximeter used in this study and the developed risk detection system.

Interventions

  • Other: Patient Transfer Monitoring System
    • The subjects will be provided with portable oximeter and smart-phone which application for monitoring is installed, and the transmitted data will be monitored in real time via monitoring equipment in the (Patient-hospitalized) ward.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Patient Transfer Monitoring System

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • frequency of risk factors which are detected during transfer
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • severity of risk factors which are detected during transfer
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
    • The severity is assessed as mild(risk factor was resolved without medical staff), moderate(resolved by medical staffs, but returned to the ward), and severe(not resolved by medical staffs, needs other method such as CPCR call, invasive intervention).
  • reason of decreased oxygen saturation
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • duration of decreased oxygen saturation
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • change from baseline in Oxygen saturation
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • the time from detecting risk factor to medical response
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • Death
    • Time Frame: from admission to discharge, up to 8 months
  • admission to intensive care units
    • Time Frame: from admission to discharge, up to 8 months
  • Adverse events related to the study
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
  • medical staffs who managed the alarmed event during transfer
    • Time Frame: from the beginning to immediately after the end of the patient transfer
