NCT ID NCT04101630
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether wearing an activity tracker (like a Fitbit) can give doctors a better idea of how someone with pulmonary hypertension will do over time, compared to the standard 6-minute walk test. About 230 people with this serious lung condition will wear a tracker for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if daily step counts and activity levels are more useful for predicting health outcomes than a one-time walking test.
