Integration of Wearable Sensor Devices Into a Single System to Predict the Onset of Sepsis

Overview

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the integration of data from the CPC12S telemonitoring device, the CPC temperature/humidity sensor, and the IDRO sweat lactate sensor into a single system for the prediction of sepsis onset in ICU patients at risk of developing sepsis. Patients will be monitored for up to 48 hours, and the collected physiological and biomarker data will be used to support the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning models for sepsis prediction.

Detailed description

This is a prospective clinical performance study involving ICU patients at risk of developing sepsis. The study will assess the integration of portable sensor devices into the CPC telemonitoring platform for the collection and visualization of physiological and biomarker data.

The CPC12S device will collect vital physiological parameters, including electrocardiography, oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, body position, and physical activity. A CPC temperature and humidity sensor will be used for continuous monitoring of body temperature and humidity. In addition, the IDRO investigational sweat lactate sensor will be integrated into the system to collect sweat lactate data.

The study will be conducted in phases. In the first phase, patients will be monitored using the CPC12S device together with the temperature and humidity sensor. In the second phase, patients will be monitored using the CPC system, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the IDRO sweat lactate sensor.

All patients will be monitored for up to 48 hours. The collected data will be analyzed together with clinical information recorded by healthcare professionals. The primary objective is to support prediction of sepsis onset by integrating data from the CPC12S device, the CPC temperature/humidity sensor, and the IDRO sweat lactate sensor. Secondary objectives include completing the integration of the IDRO sensor into the CPC system, validating the IDRO sweat lactate measurements against standard clinical blood lactate measurements, and developing an algorithm based on device-recorded and clinical data for sepsis prediction.

The data collected in this study will not be used to guide clinical decisions during the study. Medical care and clinical decisions will remain under the responsibility of the hospital medical team according to standard clinical practice.

Interventions

• Device CPC12S Telemonitoring System with Temperature/Humidity Sensor
  The CPC12S telemonitoring system will be used together with the CPC temperature and humidity sensor to collect physiological parameters, body temperature, and humidity data from ICU patients during the monitoring period.
• Device IDRO Sweat Lactate Sensor
  The investigational IDRO sweat lactate sensor will be used to collect sweat lactate measurements. The sensor will be integrated with the CPC system for data transmission, visualization, and analysis.

Primary outcome measures

• Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) of the integrated sensor-based model for prediction of sepsis onset [Time frame: Up to 48 hours of patient monitoring]

Secondary outcome measures (1)

• Correlation between IDRO sweat lactate measurements and standard blood lactate measurements [Time frame: Up to 48 hours of patient monitoring]
