evaluating continuous monitoring implementation in surgical wards

Catharina Eindhoven - 'reQuest study'

collaboration with: Catharina Hospital Eindhoven (CZE)

Continuous monitoring plays a crucial role in optimizing post-surgical care by ensuring real-time assessment of patient health and early detection of complications. The Catharina Eindhoven - ReQuest study is a single-center implementation evaluation study with an observational design. This study focuses on assessing the implementation of smartQare’s viQtor continuous monitoring solution in a surgical ward setting at Catharina Hospital Eindhoven. By exploring the operational integration and clinical utility of viQtor, this study aims to provide insights into the feasibility and impact of continuous monitoring in a high-demand hospital environment.
