Wrist monitor tracks ICU survivors at home – could spot problems early
NCT ID NCT07466446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wrist-worn activity monitor can help doctors understand how people recover after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU). 40 adults who spent more than a week in the ICU will wear the device for two months at home and answer health questionnaires. The goal is to see if movement data relates to symptoms like pain, anxiety, and daily function, and whether the device is practical for home use.

Active substance
wrist-worn activity monitor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wearable devices help doctors monitor recovery at home and catch issues like pain or anxiety early after ICU discharge.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 participants and no comparison group. It may not prove that the device improves outcomes, only that data collection is possible.
