Remote Monitoring by ViQtor Upon Implementation on a Surgical Department (REQUEST-Trial): Protocol for a Prospective Implementation Study.
Observational study in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06574867 (REQUEST - RemotE Monitoring by viQtor Upon Implementation on a Surgical departmenT), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
backgroundContinuous monitoring of patients' vital signs is critical for early detection of postoperative complications. Traditional manual monitoring by nursing staff is time-consuming and provides only intermittent data. Wearable devices offer continuous monitoring capabilities, potentially enhancing early warning systems, reducing nurse workload, and facilitating earlier patient discharge. However, research on their implementation and effectiveness in clinical settings remains limited.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the implementation and feasibility of continuous monitoring using photoplethysmography sensor technology (a viQtor device) in a surgical ward. We will also assess the impact on nursing workload and the usability of this workflow.
methodsThe REQUEST (Remote Monitoring by viQtor Upon Implementation on a Surgical Department) study is a prospective observational implementation study conducted over 8 months in a surgical ward. The vital signs of 500 postoperative patients will be continuously monitored using the viQtor device, which measures heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. The study consists of 2 phases: an initial period with manual spot checks, followed by a phase using the wearable device as the primary monitoring tool. Outcomes include the Integrated Workload Scale for nursing workload and a framework evaluating acceptability, feasibility, adoption, and sustainability. Data collection involves device performance metrics, questionnaires (the Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale and the System Usability Scale), and thematic analysis of focus groups.
resultsStaff training was completed in October 2024, and full implementation is ongoing. Preliminary findings, including data on usability and workload, are expected by July 2025.
conclusionsThis study will provide insight into the practical implementation of continuous vital sign monitoring in surgical care. The findings may support future adoption of wearable technology in clinical workflows.
