Modular Wireless Patient Monitoring System (MWPMS) Among a Subset of Patients Enrolled in an Observational Study of Sepsis in Uganda
REFNo: HS1687ES
At the FPRRH study site in Uganda, investigators will incorporate an assessment of the utility of a novel Modular Wireless Patient Monitoring System (MWPMS), supported by personalized data analytics, to provide a continuous, objective measure of physiological status in patients with sepsis. We aim to demonstrate correlation with manually collected vital signs. We also aim to identify specific features or combinations of features measured via MWPMS that predict 28-day mortality. This is a sub-study which will be incorporated in the main protocol observing sepsis patients hospitalized in Uganda
