简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the functional performance and feasibility of the Saturista system, a novel device designed for automated oxygen flow regulation based on continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO₂). The system integrates real-time physiological monitoring, wireless data transmission, and centralized visualization to support timely detection of oxygen desaturation and clinical decision-making.
A pilot feasibility study will be conducted in healthy volunteers using a scenario-based protocol, including baseline monitoring, controlled desaturation, probe disconnection, and signal recovery. The primary objective is to assess the system's ability to generate alarms in response to changes in SpO₂ and to display data in real time. Secondary objectives include evaluation of response time, signal management, and overall system stability.
详细描述
The Saturista system is a novel, integrated platform designed to support automated oxygen therapy management through continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and real-time decision support. The system combines pulse oximetry-based sensing, wireless data transmission, a cloud-based data infrastructure, and a web-based user interface within a distributed closed-loop control architecture.
In conventional clinical practice, oxygen therapy is typically adjusted manually based on intermittent assessment of oxygen saturation. This approach may delay recognition of physiological deterioration and timely intervention. The Saturista system addresses this limitation by enabling continuous monitoring, automated alarm generation, and centralized visualization of patient data at the nursing station.
The system consists of three main components: (i) a pulse oximetry-based monitoring module, (ii) an embedded device with wireless communication capabilities that regulates oxygen flow via a pneumatic valve mechanism, and (iii) a cloud-based software platform that processes physiological data and provides real-time visualization and alarm management.
This study is designed as a pilot feasibility study conducted in healthy volunteers to evaluate the technical and functional performance of the system. A scenario-based testing protocol will be applied, including baseline monitoring, controlled desaturation through short-duration breathing maneuvers, probe disconnection, and signal recovery. These scenarios simulate common clinical monitoring conditions and allow assessment of system responsiveness and reliability.
The primary outcome measures include the system's ability to detect decreases in SpO₂ and generate appropriate alarms, as well as its capacity to display physiological data in real time. Secondary outcomes include system response time, detection of signal loss, recovery performance, and overall operational stability.
