Could a simple patch replace daily spirometry for COPD patients?
NCT ID NCT07430605
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a wearable patch called WearME-Pro that tracks lung function in people with COPD during daily life. Over 10 months, 82 adults will use the patch at home and compare its readings to a standard handheld spirometer. The goal is to see if the patch is accurate, easy to use, and reliable for remote monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- WearME-Pro Patch System (wearable device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a convenient way for people with COPD to monitor their lung function at home without frequent clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 82 participants, and the patch readings are investigational—not yet proven to replace standard spirometry. The device may be less accurate or harder to use than expected.
