New sensor aims to predict heart failure readmissions without needles
NCT ID NCT07671742
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a non-invasive device that uses sensors placed on the chest to monitor heart failure patients during their hospital stay and for 90 days after discharge. The goal is to see if the device's measurements can help predict which patients are at higher risk of being readmitted or dying. The study involves 1,000 adults hospitalized for heart failure and does not change their medical care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive way to monitor heart failure patients and predict who is at risk of readmission or death after hospitalization.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The device is not being tested to improve outcomes, only to see if its measurements relate to patient health. Results may not lead to any new device or change in care.

Who is studied
Adults hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of heart failure at participating hospitals in the United States, Europe, and Singapore. Eligible participants are patients experiencing new or worsening heart failure symptoms with objective evidence of congestion requiring initiation or intensification of heart failure-specific therapy during the index hospitalization.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Hospitalization for primary heart failure, defined as new or worsening heart failure symptoms with objective evidence of congestion requiring initiation or intensification of heart failure-specific therapy * Ability to provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Any discretionary exclusion where the inclusion of the subject is deemed to pose potential risks to the subject's well-being or is likely to comprise the compliant performance of the study. * Pregnancy or lactation (as confirmed by self-report or medical documentation) * Presence of a skin rash or open wound in the area where the Acorai Device model 1.0 will be applied * Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude the subject from participating in the study or may affect the integrity of the data
