Clinical Testing on Newly Developed Monitoring Technology (The Cortrium C3 Device) for Continuous Measurements of ECG, Respiratory Rate, Body Surface Temperature and Accelerometer Data for Patients With Cancer

Cortrium has developed the C3 device. The C3 device contains sensors that monitors Electrocardiogram (ECG), Respiratory rate (breathes per minute), and Body surface temperature. Also, the C3 device contains an accelerometer for registration of the body posture.

The following thesis will be tested:

Thesis 1) Pulse: The C3 device produces clinically validated pulse data. Thesis 2) Respiratory rate: The C3 device produces clinically validated respiratory rate data (breaths per minute). Thesis 3) Infection: With no justified statistical significant correlation between skin and body temperature, the study is exploring how to prevent aggravated or lethal outcomes of cancer treatment, e.g. chemotherapy, by using vital signs measurements combined with accelerometer data to detect infection levels. Thesis 4) The qualitative study: The study will report the advantages and disadvantages regarding new technological solutions, and the change in workflow and healthcare provision as it is experienced by the healthcare personnel and the patients. The data validation studies (thesis 1-3) will be tested in comparison with golden standard measurements methods and/or data validated medical equipment.
