Nanotech breathing monitor aims to catch silent warnings before It's too late
NCT ID NCT07650539
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called RespiraFibre, a tiny sensor that attaches to oxygen masks or tubes to continuously measure breathing rate. Breathing rate is one of the best early signs that a patient is getting worse, but current methods are often inaccurate or skipped. The study will involve 148 hospital patients to see if the device is comfortable, easy to use, and accurate compared to standard monitoring.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
RespiraFibre nanotechnology breathing monitor (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors and nurses a simple, accurate way to detect early signs of serious illness in hospital patients, potentially saving lives and reducing costs.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage feasibility study with only 148 participants. The device may not be accurate enough in real-world hospital settings, or patients and staff may find it uncomfortable or difficult to use.
