Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time Motion Assessment of Time Spent Obtaining and Recording Vital Signs

    The number of seconds spent by a healthcare provider obtaining and charting vital signs will be witnessed and recorded by a research staff member.

    Number of seconds spent obtaining and charting vital signs is obtained at 8a daily, for maximum of three days for each study participant, and are added together to equal the total time spent on vital sign assessment.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Sleep Quality of Inpatient Study Participants

    Survey conducted 24-72 hours after enrolment.

  • Patient Satisfaction with Inpatient Sleep Quality

    Survey sent within a week of hospital discharge and collected within the subsequent thirty days.

  • Healthcare Provider Experience with the Vital Sign Device Array

    The electronic survey will be administered twice during the study. Each survey will take approximately ten minutes to complete.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention--Device Array Use

EXPERIMENTAL

Inpatients will wear the ANNE One device array for obtainment of vital sign assessments.

Device: Device Array Use

Control--Routine Vital Sign Obtainment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Inpatients will have vital signs determined by routine practice, using any other standard of care-accepted method or device.

Device: Routine Vital Sign Measurement

Interventions

Study participants assigned to the intervention study arm will wear a wireless Bluetooth capable vital sign detection array, with one device externally worn on each of their chest, one finger, and one arm, with healthcare providers using an additional oral temperature probe.

Intervention--Device Array Use

Study participants randomized to the control arm will have their vital signs obtained by routine means, without use of the wireless vital sign device array.

Control--Routine Vital Sign Obtainment
