Abstract:
We describe a clinical trial of wireless personal monitoring devices to detect patient movement and vital signs with the intent to prevent falls. The trial involves wireless data transmission from the devices in a public hospital environment. The paper describes the objectives of the trial and the diligence required to obtain wireless approval for use in clinical areas.
