No-Touch tech could replace stethoscopes for dialysis patients
NCT ID NCT07194395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new device called PatenSee that can check the health of dialysis access points without touching the patient. About 90 adults with kidney failure who need regular dialysis will take part. The device uses light and sound to see and hear the access point, and researchers will compare its findings to standard checks done by doctors and nurses.
