Could a wristband replace the rectal thermometer?
NCT ID NCT06942338
First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether a wristband called the CardioWatch 287-2 can accurately measure body temperature in 120 ICU patients. The wristband readings will be compared to standard rectal temperature monitoring, which is invasive and uncomfortable. If the device proves accurate, it could offer a simpler, continuous way to track fever in hospital settings.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 wristband
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-invasive, continuous way to monitor body temperature in hospital patients, reducing discomfort and infection risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage device validation study (120 participants) and may not prove accurate enough to replace current methods. The wristband measures skin temperature, not core temperature directly.
As listed by the trial registrant
