Can a Stick-On AI patch replace wires for heart monitoring after surgery?
NCT ID NCT07725445
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a small, wearable ECG patch that uses artificial intelligence to monitor heart rhythms in patients recovering from cardiac surgery. Participants wear the patch for up to a week after leaving the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if the device can reliably transmit real-time ECG data and detect arrhythmias, potentially offering a simpler alternative to traditional wired monitors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a wearable adhesive ECG monitoring device called MEMO Patch Plus
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI-powered patch could offer a more comfortable and reliable way to monitor heart rhythms in hospital patients after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study with only 18 participants. The patch may not detect all arrhythmias or may have transmission issues.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing cardiac surgery for cardiac diseases, including aortic valve stenosis, pulmonary valve regurgitation, mitral valve stenosis, mitral valve regurgitation, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stable angina, aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, atrial septal defect, cardiac tumor, and atrial fibrillation * Patients who voluntarily decide to participate in this clinical study and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients younger than 19 years of age or 80 years of age or older * Pregnant or lactating women * Patients whom the investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation in this clinical study or whose participation may increase the risk to the patient * Patients with sensitive skin, an allergic reaction to silicone, or skin rash at the intended device application site * Patients who, due to cognitive vulnerability, are judged to be unable to understand the information related to the study, appreciate its significance, and make an independent voluntary decision regarding participation Hemodynamically unstable patients, including those receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or high-dose inotropic support (e.g., epinephrine) * Patients whom the investigator considers inappropriate for participation in this clinical study for ethical reasons or because participation may affect the study results. Specific reasons will be documented in the source records.
