Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized clinical trial will determine the efficacy of remote patient monitoring using an Owlet OSS 3.0 pulse oximeter for the reduction of emergency room visits and high-acuity rehospitalizations among high-risk infants after NICU discharge.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To determine if among infants being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) without a cardiorespiratory monitor or respiratory support, remote patient monitoring using an Owlet OSS 3.0 pulse oximeter (Owlet, Lehi, UT) decreases emergency room visits and high-acuity rehospitalizations after discharge compared with routine care.

Infants being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) without a cardiorespiratory monitor or respiratory support are eligible for inclusion.

The Investigators will provide remote patient monitoring using an Owlet OSS 3.0 pulse oximeter to infants in the intervention group for a 6 month period. The Investigators will collect monthly outcome measures from caregivers of all infants.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Babies in the Owlet monitor group

The Owlet group will be given an Owlet OSS 3.0 monitor to wear when sleeping. The Owlet alarms if the baby has a very low heart rate or very low oxygen levels. In addition, caregivers in the Owlet group with a smart phone and Wi-Fi access will be able to use an application to monitor the baby's vital signs and sleep state. Will complete a survey or questionnaire every month until 6 months after discharge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Owlet group will be given an Owlet OSS 3.0 monitor to wear when sleeping. The Owlet alarms if the baby has a very low heart rate or very low oxygen levels. In addition, caregivers in the Owlet group with a smart phone and Wi-Fi access will be able to use an application to monitor the baby's vital signs and sleep state.

Babies in the Usual Care Group

The usual care group will not be given an Owlet vital sign monitor. Will complete a survey or questionnaire every month until 6 months after discharge.
