The primary outcome for this project will be the development of a small, non-invasive wireless sensor that is linked to a conventional computer that can be used in health care for monitoring of acute and chronic health problems. The advantages of developing this technology are threefold. First, monitoring can be conducted for a fraction of the cost of a bedside nurse. Second, monitoring can be done in real time and stored so that we can diagnose and manage critical events in a more timely manner. Lastly, many patients can be monitored simultaneously. The wireless sensors will be fitted to healthy volunteers of various ages. The data gathered from the sensor with respect to their vital signs will be compared to that of conventional tools such as nursing assessments and pulse oximetry.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wireless pressure transducer | Experimental | Following informed consent, each subject will be fitted with a wireless sensor attached to a conventional laptop computer. The sensors fit around the participant's chest and work as transducers. |
|
| Cardiorespiratory Monitor | Active Comparator | Following informed consent, each subject will be also be fitted with ECG leads (five), and an oxygen saturation monitor. This information as well as blood pressure and temperature will be recorded at 5-minute intervals by a nurse. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiorespiratory monitor | Device | Subjects will also be fitted with conventional monitoring devices as per the standard of care (3 or 5 lead ECG, pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff) and will have vital statistics obtained by a trained research assistant at regular 5-minute intervals including blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate using the standard cardiorespiratory bedside monitor's cycling protocol. The same parameters will be obtained from the wireless sensor at identical time points for a duration of 2 hours. Data obtained from both conventional and study sources will be entered into an encrypted USB device for later analysis. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the level of agreement between cardiorespiratory monitor and sensor information for heart rate. | The primary outcome is the level of agreement between conventional methods and sensor information for heart rate. | 2 hours |
| Level of agreement between cardiorespiratory monitor and sensor information for blood pressure | The primary outcome is the level of agreement between conventional methods and sensor information for blood pressure. | 2 hours |
| Level of agreement between cardiorespiratory monitor and sensor information for temperature | The primary outcome is the level of agreement between conventional methods and sensor information for temperature. | 2 hours |
| Level of agreement between cardiorespiratory monitor and sensor information for oxygen saturation | The primary outcome is the level of agreement between conventional methods and sensor information for oxygen saturation. | 2 hours |
