Ambient Sensing Room to Detect Early Signs of Adverse Events in Hospitalized Patients With Cancer
Mayo Clinic
Start Date
2/10/2026
Completion Date

Summary
This study uses ambient sensing rooms to collect data from hospitalized cancer patients in order to improve safety and recovery. Being hospitalized increases the risk for delirium (acute confusion), falls, troubles sleeping, and mood changes. Ambient sensing rooms are special rooms that use technology including a video camera to watch the room, an audio recorder to listen to sounds, and a temperature sensor (thermography) to check how warm or cool the room and people are. These tools may help nurses and doctors notice problems early, give better care, and keep patients safe and comfortable.
