Can a wearable predict heart failure Flare-Ups before they happen?
NCT ID NCT06007079
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a wearable monitoring device designed for people with chronic heart failure to use at home. The device collects physiological data daily for five months, and researchers will then compare that data with any heart failure events, like hospitalizations or worsening symptoms, that occur during a follow-up period. The goal is to see if the device's measurements can help predict these events, which could inform the design of a future, larger study. Clinicians will not see the device data during the study, so it won't influence their treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A wearable monitoring device (CardioPulmonary Management System) that tracks physiological data in the home setting.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a home-based monitoring system that helps predict heart failure events, potentially enabling earlier intervention and better management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study (only 2 participants) focused on data collection, not treatment. The device's ability to predict events is unproven, and results may not apply to broader populations.

Inclusion Criteria: Heart failure patients regardless of ejection fraction (HFpEF or HFrEF) with one or more of the following: * NYHA Class III-IV * NYHA Class II HF with one or more of the following: * Chronic Kidney Disease (eGFR\<60) * HF hospitalization (defined as HF listed as the major reason for hospitalization) within 9 months prior to screening visit and NT-proBNP \> 200 pg/ml for patients not in AF or \> 600 pg/m for patients in AF on screening ECG * NT-proBNP \> 300 pg/ml for patients not in AF or \> 900 pg/ml for patients in AF on the screening visit ECG. * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Exclusion Criteria: * Under 18 years of age * Patients with severe COPD (GOLD stage III or IV) * Chronic Kidney Disease (eGFR \< 20) * Limited mobility preventing application of device * Cognitive impairments that would limit the application and proper use of the device * Skin allergies or skin sensitivities to silicone-based adhesives * Pregnancy * Skin breakdown on the left chest or breast area * Not willing to shave chest hair if needed to apply device * Patients on chronic inotropic therapy * Patients with any condition that might limit the survival to less than 1 year as assessed by the investigator * No cellular coverage (Patient's Home)
