In this study cameras placed at the bedside will be evaluated for their ability to safely and accurately measure vital signs, such as heart rate and breathing, continuously after heart surgery. Camera-based measurements will be compared with the usual checks that nurses perform several times a day using sensors on the skin or finger clip. The goal is to see whether camera monitoring can help notice changes in a patient's condition earlier. Another aim of the study is to find out whether the camera monitoring can predict if a patient's health is improving or worsening. Patients and healthcare staff will be asked by the investigators about their experience to learn whether this type of monitoring is acceptable in daily care.
