Non Contact Measurement of Vital Signs

The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of a web cam-based biomedical device developed at UVA (not FDA-approved) that is designed to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation without requiring any patient contact. One potential application of such a device would be in the field of infant monitoring allowing parents (and physicians) to monitor the vital signs of infants continuously. The investigators therefore propose to record the heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation of 100 infants (defined as children aged 12 months or less) who are receiving continuous oxygen, heart rate, and respiratory rate monitoring with a traditional vital signs monitor. The relationship between "non-contact" and "gold standard" (GE monitoring equipment) heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation will be analyzed using regression and limits of agreement analysis.
