About this study

ChroniSense Medical Ltd. is developing a wearable medical multi-parametric monitoring system, Polso™. Polso™ provides a number of the parameters employed in various Early Warning Scores (EWS), such as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), utilised widely in UK hospitals.

The EWS is a physiological track and trigger system that is generated from multi- parameter or aggregate of vital signs measurements for early recognition of clinical deterioration in acutely admitted patients. Patients who are admitted into hospital are monitored with routinely measurements of these parameters that are manually recorded on a clinical chart.

ChroniSense Medical Ltd. is developing a wearable medical multi-parametric monitoring system, Polso™. Polso™ provides a number of the parameters employed in various Early Warning Scores (EWS), such as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), utilised widely in UK hospitals.

The EWS is a physiological track and trigger system that is generated from multi- parameter or aggregate of vital signs measurements for early recognition of clinical deterioration in acutely admitted patients. Patients who are admitted into hospital are monitored with routinely measurements of these parameters that are manually recorded on a clinical chart.

The parameters of the NEWS include: 1) respiratory rate pulse rate, 2) oxygen saturations, 3) body temperature; 4) systolic blood pressure, 5) heart rate, and 6) level of consciousness. Polso™ acquires, derives, and processes a number of physiological parameters. While ECG is not currently employed in NEWS, other parameters which are used in NEWS are available in the Polso™ system. In cases where manual testing is preferred for any parameter, such as use of supplemental oxygen, the individual score can be entered into the system manually. Polso™, as a wrist-based device, could enable a degree of flexibility in patient care and management.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the suitability of Polso™ as a data acquisition and processing platform capable of providing EWS summaries, against the currently employed NEWS system at the Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) Cardiology Unit. The Polso™ will be employed strictly as a data-gathering system, and will not be used to influence any clinical decisions; the standard NEWS as currently employed will fulfill all its normal clinical roles.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Polso Wearebale watchDevice

    The objective of the Polso™ feasibility study is to demonstrate the suitability of Polso™ as a data acquisition and processing platform by comparison with the conventional British version of EWS (UK-NEWS) on aggregate and on each individual parameter score. Although in a full NEWS system, the frequency of testing is determined by the score itself, this aspect will not be evaluated, in the event that a divergence of scores would complicate clinical evaluation and correspondence of readings. In addition, good clinical practice calls for patient care to be fully motivated by the NEWS currently in use, as opposed to the experimental Polso™. Therefore, this compromise will be made, which will still permits system evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polso Wearebale watch in people with Clinical Assessment, run by BlueWind Medical.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

blood pressure (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03448861, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2018.
