First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a wearable device that listens to breathing sounds through a sensor on the throat. It aims to detect and predict opioid-induced respiratory depression (slow or stopped breathing) in 120 adults recovering from surgery. The device's accuracy will be compared to standard monitors like pulse oximeters and capnometers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Wearable Respiratory Monitoring System (RMS) with Tracheal Sound Sensor (TSS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help doctors spot dangerous breathing problems early in patients taking opioids after surgery, potentially preventing emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 120 participants, so the device may not work as well in real-world settings. It is not a treatment and does not replace standard monitoring.
