Development of an Automatically Generated and Wearable-based Early Warning System

Participants wear a wristband with a Photoplethysmography (PPG), heart rate and respiratory rate sensor continuously for 3 days. Once gateway and device are linked, all data will be transmitted continuously via Bluetooth to an in-house database. The Device Hub allows to control data availability and signal quality of the wearables, but no scores will be calculated and visualized. The data obtained for calculating the NEWS2 is solely observational and for the study staff. It has no clinical consequence on the treatment of the patient. It is analyzed whether the score with values form the wearables and Electronic Health Record (EHR) corresponds to the conventionally calculated NEWS2 score with values coming only from the EHR.
