Smartwatch AI could spot dangerous thyroid Flare-Ups
NCT ID NCT07017907
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a software called Glandy HYPER that uses artificial intelligence to detect thyrotoxicosis—a dangerous overactive thyroid state—in people with Graves' disease. The AI analyzes resting heart rate data from wearable devices like smartwatches and compares it with standard blood tests. Researchers will enroll 15 adults with Graves' disease to see how well the software performs, but its results will not be shared with participants or affect their medical care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Heart rate-based AI software for detecting thyrotoxicosis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could offer a non-invasive way to monitor thyroid storms using wearable devices, potentially improving early detection.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The software is not FDA-approved and is for research only.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 22 years or older, regardless of sex. * Individuals who are newly diagnosed with Graves' disease or currently undergoing treatment for it. * Individuals who have received sufficient explanation about the investigational software and are able to use it appropriately. * Individuals who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and have signed informed consent, either directly or via a legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with cardiac conditions such as arrhythmia or heart failure. * Individuals taking medications that significantly affect heart rate, including antiarrhythmics or antihistamines. (Intermittent short-acting beta-blockers are allowed.) * Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those planning pregnancy during the study period or not using appropriate contraception. * Individuals with significant comorbidities that interfere with follow-up or study compliance. * Individuals with severe psychiatric disorders, substance use disorder, or alcohol dependence. * Individuals deemed ineligible at the discretion of the investigator for safety or ethical concerns.
