Smart scale for swelling: could a Foot-Volume monitor keep heart patients out of hospital?
NCT ID NCT06222099
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a device that automatically measures foot swelling in people with chronic heart failure. The device sends alerts to healthcare teams if swelling increases, which could signal worsening heart failure. About 1,500 participants will use the device at home for at least a year, and researchers will compare hospital visits and data availability to standard care. The goal is to see if this passive monitoring reduces hospitalizations and improves patient management.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Heartfelt device (a remote monitoring device that measures foot volume to detect swelling)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help heart failure patients avoid hospital stays by catching fluid buildup early.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by patient or staff awareness. The device is not a treatment, only a monitoring tool, and its impact on hospitalizations may be modest.
