TRICA study
collaboration:
Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven (CZE), Philips, and Eindhoven University of Technology (Tue)
study overview:
The TRICA study (NCT03923127) is a prospective, single-center study that evaluates the diagnostic performance of wearable sensors in postoperative patients, conducted in collaboration with CZE, Philips, and TU/e.
primary objective:
The aim of the study was to develop a Remote Early Warning Scoring (REWS) system based on continuous heart rate and respiratory rate measurements using the wearable biosensor, Healthdot. The diagnostic performance of REWS was compared to the traditional Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) in detecting patient deterioration.
study design and participants
key participants:
- 200 bariatric and 150 oncology patients
study duration:
- Start: April 2019
- Status: Completed, 2022
key results and benefits:
The REWS system demonstrated diagnostic accuracy comparable to the conventional MEWS, effectively identifying postoperative patient deterioration. Healthdot enabled continuous monitoring without requiring manual spot checks, enhancing early detection and improving patient care outcomes.
