Mobile Monitoring for Postoperative Complications
(COSMOS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The investigators plan to determine whether unblinded continuous ward monitoring with the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution and nursing alerts reduces vital sign abnormalities in patients recovering from major noncardiac surgery.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is mobile monitoring for postoperative complications safe for humans?
The studies reviewed indicate that using mobile health tools, like smartphone photography and mobile apps, for monitoring postoperative conditions is generally safe and well-received by patients. Patients reported high satisfaction, and the technology helped in accurately detecting complications and reducing unnecessary hospital visits.12345
How is the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution treatment different from other treatments for postoperative complications?
The GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution is unique because it uses mobile technology to continuously monitor patients' vital signs and detect complications in real-time, allowing for early intervention and potentially avoiding unnecessary hospital visits. This approach is different from traditional methods that may rely on less frequent monitoring and in-person check-ups.56789
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution for postoperative complications?
Research shows that mobile health systems, like the GE Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution, can help manage patients after surgery by allowing them to send images and health data to healthcare providers quickly. This can lead to changes in treatment that avoid unnecessary emergency visits, as seen in a study where 18% of cases had their treatment modified based on the data sent, and 96% of patients were satisfied with the mobile health application.56101112
