NCT ID NCT07655401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable sensor that measures hydration levels in older adults (65+) admitted to the hospital with suspected dehydration. The sensor is placed on the back, arm, and thigh, and its readings are compared with standard methods like blood tests and weight changes. The goal is to see if this easy-to-use, non-invasive tool can help doctors better manage hydration, prevent complications, and reduce hospital readmissions.
