Stick-On patch aims to catch dangerous heart decline sooner
NCT ID NCT07825363
First seen Sep 17, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing a noninvasive wearable sensor patch that uses near-infrared light to continuously measure tissue oxygen and blood flow in people hospitalized with cardiogenic shock after a heart attack or heart failure. Up to 20 adults in a cardiac intensive care unit wear the patches on their chest and arm for about one to three days while receiving standard care. The study compares the patch's readings with standard heart and blood tests to see if the device works and whether it can detect worsening shock earlier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a noninvasive wearable sensor patch that uses near-infrared spectroscopy and photoplethysmography to measure tissue oxygen and blood flow
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors an earlier warning when a heart patient's circulation is getting worse, possibly before standard monitors show it.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early pilot study with 20 patients at one hospital. The sensor may not reliably match standard measurements, and it is not yet used to make treatment decisions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Acutely decompensated symptomatic heart failure (HF) documented by: (a) symptoms of HF requiring current treatment; (b) Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) stage B, C, or D; and (c) hospital admission with HF as the primary or secondary diagnosis; OR acute myocardial infarction (MI) patient undergoing coronary angiography * Admitted to the intensive care unit and currently in SCAI stage B, C, or D * Age 18 years or older * Weight greater than 40 kg Exclusion Criteria: * Prior known severe allergy to medical-grade adhesive or tape (self-reported) * Currently participating in an investigational drug or device study that would interfere with the conduct or results of this study. Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational. * The investigator believes the participant is not an appropriate candidate for the study
