The purpsoe of this study is to identify proteins that can be measured in blood and indicate that a patient is at high risk of delirium. 

This study uses ambient sensing rooms to collect data from hospitalized cancer patients in order to improve safety and recovery. Being hospitalized increases the risk for delirium (acute confusion), falls, troubles sleeping, and mood changes. Ambient sensing rooms are special rooms that use technology including a video camera to watch the room, an audio recorder to listen to sounds, and a temperature sensor (thermography) to check how warm or cool the room and people are. These tools may help nurses and doctors notice problems early, give better care, and keep patients safe and comfortable.

The purpose of this study is to determine the acceptability of point-of-care EEG among healthcare providers and patients in a hospital setting. The goal of this aim is to assess the acceptability and satisfaction of healthcare providers (e.g., digital ambassadors, nurses, physicians) and patients with the use of point-of-care EEG technology. We will gather feedback through interviews to evaluate aspects such as ease of use, comfort, trust in the diagnostic results, and overall satisfaction. This will help identify barriers to adoption and areas for improvement in terms of both user experience and patient comfort.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and acceptability of point of care EEG collected via the Muse 2 device for delirium detection in hospitalized older adults.
