PhD student with projects investigating potential effects of wireless monitoring of high-risk patients in the postoperative and post intensive care setting. With regards to critical illness and multiorgan failure, we investigate the impact of continuous monitoring of vital parameters on detection of deterioration events and complications. Is it possible to detect patients at risk for further clinical deterioration and can continuous monitoring of vital parameters on general wards and at home minimize that risk?
