Injected sensor could offer new window into blood flow problems

NCT ID NCT04514861

Summary

This study is testing a new wireless device designed to monitor oxygen levels in the tissue of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that reduces blood flow to the limbs. A small, injectable sensor is placed under the skin to continuously measure oxygen, and the readings are compared to a standard external monitor. The goal is to see if this new sensor can accurately track changes in tissue oxygen when blood flow is temporarily altered, potentially offering a new way to assess the severity of PAD.
