Study Arms (1)

Adult, hospitalized patients who are monitored for vital signs in the general wards

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Continuous vital sign monitoring

Interventions

The intervention involves continuous, real-time vital sign monitoring using sensors to measure vital signs combined with WARD-CSS and novel algorithms designed to detect clinically relevant deviations in the vital signs.
