NCT ID NCT04174053
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a small, swallowable capsule can accurately measure body temperature in 30 hospitalized patients with blood cancers who have very low immunity (neutropenia). Researchers compared the capsule's temperature readings to standard ear thermometer measurements. The goal was to see if this high-tech method could help doctors detect fevers earlier and start treatments faster.
