Smart band tracks COVID-19 breathing trouble
NCT ID NCT04356443
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special band called AirGo to monitor breathing patterns in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure. The goal was to see if the band could detect early signs of worsening breathing, helping doctors decide when to use a breathing tube. The study included 25 adults with COVID-19 who were breathing on their own but needed extra oxygen.
