Research summary
This study will assess the Oxecam non-contact heart rate and breathing rate measurement system. This system offers a potential way to obtain vital sign measurements from a person without needing to attach sensors to them, which offers advantages for comfort and safety in a range of settings. Trained users will use the system to take regular heart rate and breathing rate observations from healthy adult volunteer participants in a room in the Oxehealth research premises in Oxford, UK. The participants will carry out a sequence of comfortable activities while wearing their own clothes, and will wear a CE marked wearable device to gather reference heart rate and breathing rate. The participants will not receive any medical interventions such as administration of medication as a result of taking part in the study.
The accuracy of the Oxecam system will be established by comparing its heart rate and breathing rate measurements with the measurements made by the reference wearable device. The system’s usefulness will be assessed by calculating the ratio between the number of successful user measurements and all attempted user measurements.
Informed consent will be taken from the volunteer participants. Each participant will spend no more than two hours taking part in the study activities and will be reimbursed for their time.REC name
