ZeroFall - Reliability Testing of Optical Sensor to Detect Bed Exit for Patients in Hospital

Delirium of Mixed Origin Clinical Trial

Official title: ZeroFall - Reliability Testing of Optical Sensor to Detect Bed Exit for Patients in Hospital

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Falls are one of the most common NHS adverse events. With an increasing number of frail elderly patients being admitted this risk is likely to increase. In order to be able to assist patients with bed exit in a timely manner monitoring might be of help. In ZeroFall we will test the reliability of monitoring devices to notify care givers if a patient is attempting to exit the bed.

Clinical Trial Description

In ZeroFall we intend to observe patients on risk of fall with two different devices during their hospital stay: The information from a no-touch optical sensing device that analyses movement and an under the mattress sensor that has already been used in a previous study at Bangor. Both are compatible with an existing monitoring system by Philips Healthcare and CE marked. ;
