In Ghana, and many other low and middle income countries in Africa, manual vital signs monitoring is the prevalent mode of vital signs monitoring because continuous bedside monitors are non-functional. This lack of continuous vital signs monitoring may result in missed opportunities to catch physiologic deterioration. The investigators propose to develop a dashboard that is based on the Garmin Venu 3, a consumer wearable device that reliably measures heart rate, SPO2, and respiratory rate, as an alternative to bedside monitors in hospitals in Ghana.
