“…In a clinical setting, where accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are critical, effective communication and collaboration among healthcare providers are essential. Research has shown that teams that communicate more frequently and effectively are more likely to achieve better patient outcomes, and that speaking time is a reliable indicator of the quality of communication and the degree of cooperation within the team [ 5 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ].…”

“…The most common type of wearable device used is a chest strap to be placed around the thorax, which includes dry electrodes for ECG tracking. In particular, a single-lead ECG trace is frequently recorded using the Zephyr BioHarness (Medtronic, Eindhoven, The Netherlands), which embeds two dry conductive electrodes [ 5 , 85 ]. In [ 108 ], surgical teams were monitored by using the Equivital sensor system EQ-01 (Hidalgo Ltd., Cambridge, UK), which consists of a chest belt with three dry electrodes to extract HR and HRV from a three-channel ECG-recording.…”

“…HRV can provide useful information about the level of stress and workload of medical and OR teams [ 21 ]. In most cases, its monitoring is combined with that of HR [ 5 , 108 , 114 ]. Some experiments used T-shirts with embedded microelectronics, such as the VitalJacket ® (Biodevices Setúbal, Portugal S.A), that represents a wearable and certified medical device.…”

Nowadays, there is an ever-growing interest in assessing the collective intelligence (CI) of a team in a wide range of scenarios, thanks to its potential in enhancing teamwork and group performance. Recently, special attention has been devoted on the clinical setting, where breakdowns in teamwork, leadership, and communication can lead to adverse events, compromising patient safety. So far, researchers have mostly relied on surveys to study human behavior and group dynamics; however, this method is ineffective. In contrast, a promising solution to monitor behavioral and individual features that are reflective of CI is represented by wearable technologies. To date, the field of CI assessment still appears unstructured; therefore, the aim of this narrative review is to provide a detailed overview of the main group and individual parameters that can be monitored to evaluate CI in clinical settings, together with the wearables either already used to assess them or that have the potential to be applied in this scenario. The working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of each device are introduced in order to try to bring order in this field and provide a guide for future CI investigations in medical contexts.
