Sweat-Powered relief: could a High-Tech suit drain fluid from heart failure patients?
NCT ID NCT06360380
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a wearable suit called AquaPass that removes excess fluid through sweat in people with chronic heart failure and fluid overload. Participants wear the suit for up to 5 hours in a hospital or clinic, alongside their usual medications. The goal is to see if the suit can safely remove at least 500 mL of extra fluid per session, potentially easing symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AquaPass System (wearable suit that removes fluid through sweat)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to manage fluid overload in heart failure patients, reducing reliance on diuretics and improving comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small study (40 people) testing feasibility and safety. The device may not remove enough fluid, or could cause side effects like dehydration or skin irritation.
