Machine Learning and 3D Image-Based Modeling for Real-Time Body Weight and Body Composition Estimation During Emergency Medical Care. Study 3

Stopped: No funding received.

0Started 2029-07-01

Plain-language summary

The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to compare standard methods of weight estimation and drug dose calculations against weight estimates and dose calculations using a 3D camera weight estimation system in critically ill or injured cohorts of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Are weight estimates from a 3D camera system more accurate than standard methods of weight estimation? Do patients who receive weight estimates with a 3D camera system have fewer drug dosing errors than patients receiving standard care? Participants will either receive a weight estimate using a 3D camera system, or standard methods of care. Researchers will compare the 3D camera group to those with standard care to see if the weight estimates are more accurate, to see if drug dosing is more accurate, and to compare the incidence of adverse events related to medications in each group.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Any patient presenting to the Emergency Department of the study site, who will require any form of weight-based intravenous drug therapy, and who will be admitted to the hospital. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who are unable to provide consent. * Patients whose medical treatment could be negatively impacted by participation in the study.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
