About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate a commercially available smart sock for heart rate monitoring in hospitalized newborn infants without known heart disease. The study aims to determine whether the smart sock provides heart rate information comparable to that obtained from the standard patient monitor used in routine neonatal care.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* Does the smart sock provide heart rate measurements comparable to those obtained from the standard patient monitor? * Does the smart sock provide comparable information on clinically relevant rhythm abnormalities? * How do parents and healthcare professionals perceive the usability and safety of the smart sock? Participants will wear the smart sock while undergoing routine monitoring on the neonatal ward. Heart rate and rhythm data from the smart sock will be compared with data from the standard patient monitor. Parents and healthcare professionals will provide feedback on the usability and perceived safety of the device.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Agreement between heart rate measurements obtained from the smart sock and the standard patient monitor
Heart rate data obtained from the smart sock will be compared with simultaneous heart rate data obtained from the standard patient monitor used in routine neonatal care.
Secondary outcomes
Agreement in detection of rhythm abnormalities between the smart sock and the standard patient monitor
Rhythm abnormalities and rhythm-related alarms identified by the standard patient monitor will be reviewed and compared with data obtained from the smart sock to assess the ability of the smart sock to detect clinically significant rhythm abnormalities lasting \>3 minutes.
Parent- and healthcare professional-reported usability of the smart sock
Usability of the smart sock as assessed by parents and healthcare professionals using a questionnaire.
