Can AI and ultrasound monitor stroke recovery from home?
NCT ID NCT05649800
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether a new system using ultrasound and light sensors can remotely monitor brain blood flow in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will test the technology in 140 participants, including healthy older adults and those with stroke, dementia, depression, or delirium. The goal is to see if the method is practical and to gather data for future larger studies.
