Title: Continuous vital signs monitors: a replacement for traditional vital signs?
Abstract: Lightweight, wireless vital signs monitors offer the ability to continuously monitor ward-based patients, which could revolutionise identification of patient deterioration. Continuous vital signs require correlation to traditional vital signs measurements in acutely unwell inpatients if we are to understand how best to integrate continuous data into track-and-trigger systems. We report data collected during Continuous Signs Monitoring in COVID-19 Patients (COSMIC-19) (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04581031), a feasibility study of continuous vital signs data recorded using wearable sensors in hospitalised patients with COVID-19. The data presented here explore data completeness from the continuous sensors and compare traditional and continuous vital signs.
