Description
Sarah Vollam and a large team review wearable monitoring of hospital patients with COVID-19 in a 2026 data study. Wrist or patch systems track heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen nonstop. Evidence on real ward use and on how often nurses still take manual readings was thin.
Three isolation wards in a large United Kingdom hospital displayed live readings on a central dashboard. Records were reviewed to describe vital sign patterns outside intensive care. A later exploratory check asked whether showing the data changed manual measurement frequency. Findings help wards judge what continuous monitoring adds beyond standard spot checks.
