#Digital temperature gauge m1 sensor Patch#
The patch detected 14.3 times the number of clinic-assessed fever episodes with a median lead time of 4.3 hours. The sensitivity and specificity of the patch in detecting clinic-assessed fever episodes was 90.2% and 87.8%. Results: The Verily Patch reliably measured body temperatures with an error of 0.35 ± 0.88☏ in comparison to clinic- and patient-assessed oral temperatures. The clinic- and patient-assessed oral temperatures were used to develop and evaluate Verily Patch’s body temperature and early fever detection algorithms using a K-fold cross-validation approach. Patients were also followed using clinical standard-of-care procedures with daily oral temperature assessment. Patients wore the device in their axilla region for 7 days post ASCT and recorded self-measured oral temperatures every 3 hours. Methods: 86 patients at a high risk for FN were prospectively enrolled at Mayo Clinic, MN. We evaluated if a novel wearable, continuous temperature monitor (Verily Patch) can reliably estimate body temperature and early detect fevers in an outpatient setting in patients at a high risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) who recently underwent chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
Objective: Continuous temperature monitoring in high-risk patients can enable healthcare providers to remotely track patients’ temperatures, promptly detect fevers and timely intervene to improve clinical outcomes.
