About this study

Official title: PJ-013483 FLAGSHIP Transitional Care Study 3

In this study patients with elective surgery will wear two devices (HealthDot and Elan) after surgery in hospital and after discharge at home for up to 2 weeks (HealthDot) or 3 weeks (Elan). The HealthDot will measure heart rate, posture, activity and respiratory rate which are stored on the device as well as sent to Philips. The Elan device will measure PPG and accelerometer data which is transferred to Philips. The data collected will be used for algorithm development. Data will be analysed retrospectively and compared to readmission and adverse events to see if the events could have been predicted due to the collected data by the devices. No clinical decisions will be based on the measurements done during the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity and specificity

    Evaluate the sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of deterioration after surgery using the data from both devices.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Accuracy HealthDot

    Evaluate if the calculated heart rate and respiratory rate data collected by HealthDot are accurate compared to a gold standard as used in the hospital

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Comfort of wearing measured by questionnaire

    Comfort of wearing the HealthDot will be assessed by VAS scale 1-10 while 1 beeing very comfortable, and 10 very uncomfortable

    Measured: at week 2

  3. Accuracy Elan

    Evaluate if the calculated heart rate and respiratory rate data collected by Elan are accurate compared to a gold standard as used in the hospital

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elan and HealthDot in people with Surgery--Complications, run by Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Sensitivity and specificity (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT03923127, 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 28 Aug 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
