Can a 10-Second chest scan reveal hidden heart clues?
NCT ID NCT07805213
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
Researchers are testing a new device called KV-PREDICT that sits on the chest, over clothing, and records heart signals for about 10 seconds. The study includes 120 adults with heart failure across different severity levels. The goal is to see if the device can capture clear, repeatable signals that could later help doctors assess heart function. This pilot study does not guide treatment decisions and offers no direct benefit to participants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- KV-PREDICT, a non-invasive chest device that records heart signals
- What this could lead to
- If the device reliably captures heart signals, it could become a simple, clothing-friendly way to monitor heart function in heart failure patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early pilot study focused on signal quality, not on diagnosing or predicting outcomes. The device may not perform consistently across different patients.
