Remote Infant Vital Sign Monitoring in Congenital Heart Disease

Experts from Johns Hopkins Children’s Center participated in various sessions and presentations during the Eighth World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. In this video, Danielle Gottlieb Sen, director of pediatric cardiac research discusses the abstracts that were presented. The topics were about the development of wearable technology — a novel monitor that uses multiple vital signs to integrate data for pediatric patients in the outpatient setting. The second project uses software as a medical device that is an artificial intelligence algorithm that uses noninvasive continuously monitoring vital sign data in an inpatient setting to estimate cardiac output. This work is being performed in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering. There is an effort in the United States to design devices that are specifically designated and labeled for children.
