Could a ring replace the blood pressure cuff for heart patients?
NCT ID NCT07626879
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable ring that measures blood pressure, comparing it to the standard 24-hour monitor in 100 people with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. The goal is to see if the ring is accurate and easy to use. If successful, it could make blood pressure tracking more convenient for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CART-BP ring-type wearable blood pressure monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simpler, more comfortable way to track blood pressure in heart failure patients, potentially improving home monitoring.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study (100 participants) focused on accuracy, not health outcomes. The ring device may not match the standard monitor's precision.
