Smartphone ECG app could spot dangerous potassium levels in kidney patients
NCT ID NCT07210021
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app that uses ECG readings to detect dangerously high potassium levels in people with chronic kidney disease. About 50 adults will use the app during clinic visits or at home for up to four weeks. The goal is to see how accurate, easy-to-use, and reliable the app is for catching this serious condition early.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants will be adults aged 22 years or older with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages III-IV who receive care at Central Jersey Kidney Care, an outpatient nephrology clinic. Eligible participants for Arm 2A will be identified at the time of a routine outpatient potassium blood draw. A subset of participants who complete Arm 2A will be invited to enroll in Arm 2B, which involves daily remote monitoring at home for up to four weeks. Participants must have an iPhone compatible with the study application to join Arm 2B.
