Overview
Brief Summary
Subjects in this study will wear the VitalPatch with the added ECG Interpretation and arrhythmia detection features which will expedite the identification of patients whose condition may rapidly deteriorate as well as eliminate the majority of non-actionable alarms.
Detailed Description
This project intends to validate, through comparative study, the output of new technologies (ECG Interpretation and arrhythmia detection) to the VistaCenter platform, aiming to replace current telemetry monitoring equipment. The new technology, through the previous Mercy pilot study, has demonstrated greater accuracy in the detection of ventricular tachycardia patterns and other dysrhythmias/arrhythmias, as well as, reducing the volume of false alarms resulting in the mitigation of alarm fatigue experienced by bedside staff and monitor technicians.
