Multimometer - Vital Signs Device for Diagnosis of Pneumonia

NCT03265756 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 350

Last updated 2018-11-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pneumonia is a major cause of illness in young children. The investigators are developing and testing a new thermometer like device called Multimometer, to measure the respiration rate (RR), temperature, heart rate (HR) and the degree of blood oxygenation (SpO2) of children who may suffer from pneumonia. These are called vital signs and their measurements greatly help to diagnose pneumonia.

In the first part of the study, and in order to optimize and better align the size of the device with the face, the investigators will measure the average size and dimensions of young children's face. In the second part of the study, the investigators will compare the vital signs measurements with measurements obtained by other commonly used devices in ill children who are suspected to suffer from pneumonia.
