Study summary

Subjects in this study will wear the VitalPatch with the added ECG Interpretation and arrhythmia detection features which will expedite the identification of patients whose condition may rapidly deteriorate as well as eliminate the majority of non-actionable alarms.

Read the detailed description

This project intends to validate, through comparative study, the output of new technologies (ECG Interpretation and arrhythmia detection) to the VistaCenter platform, aiming to replace current telemetry monitoring equipment. The new technology, through the previous Mercy pilot study, has demonstrated greater accuracy in the detection of ventricular tachycardia patterns and other dysrhythmias/arrhythmias, as well as, reducing the volume of false alarms resulting in the mitigation of alarm fatigue experienced by bedside staff and monitor technicians.

  • Not recommended for use in MRI
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Other
    Single group

    Where a wearable biosensor is being considered for use in the health management of individuals at high-risk for poor health outcomes, and in the detection or prevention of adverse events within settings where traditional monitoring devices are not currently in use, the ECG interpretation will provide Arrhythmia detection which will help ensure that irregular rhythms will be reported quickly.

    Diagnostic Test: VitalPatch Device

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testVitalPatch Device

    The VitalPatch® is an IRB (791130) and FDA approved wearable device that allows for the constant monitoring of biometric measurements and may have utility in the health management of individuals at high-risk for poor health outcomes and in the detection or prevention of adverse events within settings where more traditional telemetry monitoring devices are not currently in use.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 24, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
