Finger clip could spot hidden artery disease in diabetics faster than current tests
NCT ID NCT05795582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a device that shines light through the toe (photoplethysmography) can quickly detect peripheral artery disease in people with diabetes. The new method measures how long it takes blood to refill the toe after a heartbeat, and researchers compare it to the standard toe-brachial pressure index. If accurate, this could make screening easier and more routine for millions of diabetic patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
POPMETRE® device (photoplethysmography)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a faster, simpler, and cheaper way to screen diabetic patients for peripheral artery disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison study, not a treatment trial. The new method may not prove accurate enough to replace current screening.
