ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new device called DARE that can measure blood pressure without the need for tubes or needles inside the body. It is designed for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), where close monitoring of blood pressure and other vital signs like body temperature, oxygen levels, and heart rhythm is very important. The study compares the DARE device’s readings to the usual invasive methods, which involve inserting tubes into blood vessels and the body. The goal is to see if the DARE device can provide accurate, comfortable, and safer monitoring for very sick patients.

Adults 18 years and older who are staying in the ICU for more than two days and already have invasive monitors for blood pressure and temperature may be eligible to join. People with certain skin allergies, active implanted devices like pacemakers, or those who cannot give informed consent are not eligible. Participants will wear the DARE device while receiving their usual care, and doctors will compare the results. This study hopes to make it easier and safer for patients to be closely watched during critical illness.
