Brief Summary

In this clinical investigation, the investigators will assess the safety, performances and clinical added value of the MultiSense® ambulatory telemonitoring solution in real-life situations.

Detailed Description

The MultiSense® solution is a medical device for telemonitoring for in and outpatient use.

It includes 5 physiological data sensors and communicates via Bluetooth with a smartphone. The data is centralized in the web and a web application allows healthcare professionals to scrutinize patient's data.

Among its potential benefits, the MultiSense® solution offers continuous, non-invasive and wireless physiological data recording over 5 days whenever patient monitoring is needed. There is a special focus on the post-operative monitoring, especially during the initial convalescence phase outside the hospital. An automatic notification system can be set up by a healthcare professional to notify abnormal data and potential need for phone call and/or physical home intervention.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, the performance and added value of the MultiSense® solution in real-life situations. The study population includes 20 post-surgical patients having a genuine need for post-hospital monitoring and be likely to have variations in physiological variables monitored, without being in a critical condition. The patients included will be equipped with the MultiSense® solution prior to the hospital discharge. The device will be used for 6 days from the date of actual deployment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determination of the safety and performance of the MultiSense® solution in patient monitoring, in terms of heart rate accuracy by comparison with a reference monitor.From patch placement to hospital discharge, assessed up to 3 hours

Accuracy is defined as an average measurement variation less than 5 bpm of the mean value, with respect to the reference standard

Determination of the safety and performance of the MultiSense® solution in patient monitoring, in terms of data transmission.From patch placement to removal, assessed up to 7 days

Data transmission is defined as more than 90% of data with transmission time from patch to server less than 5 min.

Determination of the safety and performance of the MultiSense® solution in patient monitoring, in terms of data artefacts.From patch placement to removal, assessed up to 7 days

Percentage of artefacts due to technical issues (non-behavioral events) over the monitoring period below 10% for heart rate, 20% for the respiratory rate or 30% for SpO2.

Determination of the safety and performance of the MultiSense® solution in patient monitoring, in terms of data availability.From patch placement to removal, assessed up to 7 days

Percentage of missing data due to technical issues (non-behavioral events) over the monitoring period below 15%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient's satisfaction and reassurance when monitored by the deviceFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Determination of patient satisfaction and reassurance by an end-study questionnaire (4-levels Likert scale)

Device defectsFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Accounting of device deficiencies reported by the investigator, the patient or identified by MultiSense data analysis

MultiSense® data quality after moderate level of activityFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Distribution of activity level across monitoring period, number of showers taken over the monitoring period and evolution of the artefact's metric (as defined in the primary endpoint) over time (MultiSense® data)

Patient's tolerance to prolonged use of the MultiSense® solution (Safety in use, side effects)From patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Accounting and classification of unexpected local and distant event due to the use of the MultiSense® solution (vigilance data) and Patient's questionnaire

Clinical relevance of the notifications provided by MultiSense® solutionFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Relevance of the notifications generated by MultiSense® will be judged on the relevance of the notification's functionality by the healthcare professional in real-life situation by the mean of notification treatment through MultiSense® web application

Remote monitoring facilitation for the healthcare professional through the solution's ease of use and satisfaction gainedFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Determination of healthcare professionals' practical interest in the solution and satisfaction of use assessed via a questionnaire (4-levels Likert scale)

Respiratory rate accuracy in terms of EtCO2From patch placement to hospital discharge, assessed up to 3 hours

Respiratory rate accuracy by comparison of MultiSense® data with the reference monitor in terms of EtCO2

Correlation between body temperature and skin temperatureFrom patch placement to hospital discharge, assessed up to 2 days

Correlation between the body temperature measured with a standard device and the skin temperature measured with the MultiSense® solution

Patch autonomyFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Percentage of patches with an autonomy \> 5 days including skin adhesion and battery life (MultiSense® data and patient's questionnaire)

Respiratory rate accuracy in terms of impedanceFrom patch placement to hospital discharge, assessed up to 3 hours

Respiratory rate accuracy by comparison of MultiSense® data with the reference monitor in terms of impedance

Estimation of posture and activity level reported by the MultiSense® solutionFrom patch placement to its removal (up to 7 days)

Determination of the posture and activity level consistency by accounting the percentage of lying position and low activity at night and the percentage of high activity during day (MultiSense® data)

End of study hardware recovery rateFrom patch removal to material return, assessed up to 1 month

Percentage of MultiSense® patch and gateway returned to RDS at the end of the study
