NCT ID NCT05433129
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new wearable device that uses light to measure blood flow regulation in the brain. Researchers will scan 250 healthy volunteers to see how age and sex affect brain blood flow. The goal is to create a portable imaging system that could one day help diagnose conditions like stroke.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a portable device for monitoring brain blood flow regulation, aiding future diagnosis of conditions like stroke.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage device optimization study in healthy volunteers, so it may not translate to clinical use. The technology is still being tested for feasibility.
