Evaluation of visual patient predictive for enhancing level 3 situation awareness: protocol for a multicentre randomised computer-based simulation and diagnostic accuracy study (true positive rate, precision, average lead time)
The leading ethics committee (Zurich, Switzerland; BASEC-Req-2023-00465) reviewed and approved the study protocol. Ethics committees at the other participating centres have obtained their respective approvals or waivers. Bonn: 2025-144-BO, Boston: 2025P000501, Heidelberg: S-376/2025, Munich: 2025-357 W-CB. As this simulation study involves only healthcare professionals performing prediction tasks based on simulated vital sign scenarios-without collection of patient data or any medically relevant personal data-it does not constitute human subjects research under applicable regulations. Study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific conferences.
