The Application of a Wireless Sensor Technology for Vital Statistics in CHILDREN AND ADULTS

Subjects will also be fitted with conventional monitoring devices as per the standard of care (3 or 5 lead ECG, pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff) and will have vital statistics obtained by a trained research assistant at regular 5-minute intervals including blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate using the standard cardiorespiratory bedside monitor's cycling protocol. The same parameters will be obtained from the wireless sensor at identical time points for a duration of 2 hours. Data obtained from both conventional and study sources will be entered into an encrypted USB device for later analysis.

Following informed consent, each subject will be fitted with a wireless sensor attached to a conventional laptop computer. The sensors fit around the participant's chest and work as transducers.
