NCT ID NCT04538612

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tested a new device called DiCART that automatically measures how quickly blood returns to the skin after pressing it (capillary refill time). Doctors use this test to check blood flow in seriously ill patients, but current methods vary a lot between observers. The study involved 20 healthy adults and used temporary arm and leg blood flow blocks to see how well the device could detect changes in blood flow.
