Wearable devices to detect changes in health status are increasingly adopted by consumers, yet hospitals remain slow to assimilate these devices into clinical practice. Despite the clear benefits of capturing clinical information in acutely ill patients, such technology remains difficult to implement in emergency medicine. To improve adoption, barriers must first be removed. In our technical feasibility and acceptability trial, we studied the deployment of a wearable wireless biosensor that collects physiological data. We enrolled 44 adult patients receiving care in an emergency department observation unit. After we consented patients for participation, we applied biosensors to their chest and collected basic demographic and clinical information. We then collected biosensor data on an isolated system and measured patient experience via an exit survey. Throughout this process we documented and studied technical challenges. Overall, the technology was feasible to deploy in the emergency department observation unit and was acceptable to participants. Such technologies have tremendous future operational and clinical implications in settings ranging from emergency to home-care.
可检测健康状况变化的可穿戴设备越来越受到消费者的青睐，但医院在将这些设备融入临床实践方面仍进展缓慢。尽管在急症患者中获取临床信息有明显益处，但此类技术在急诊医学中仍难以实施。为提高其采用率，必须首先消除障碍。在我们的技术可行性和可接受性试验中，我们研究了一种收集生理数据的可穿戴无线生物传感器的部署情况。我们招募了44名在急诊科观察室接受治疗的成年患者。在患者同意参与后，我们将生物传感器贴在他们的胸部，并收集基本人口统计学和临床信息。然后，我们在一个隔离系统上收集生物传感器数据，并通过出院调查评估患者体验。在整个过程中，我们记录并研究了技术挑战。总体而言，该技术在急诊科观察室的部署是可行的，并且参与者可以接受。此类技术在从急诊到家庭护理等各种环境中具有巨大的未来运营和临床意义。
