A patch, not a surgery: new device aims to monitor heart failure without implants
NCT ID NCT07730268
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive device called Vivio can accurately track heart failure status by measuring blood pressure in the lungs. Researchers will compare Vivio readings to those from an implanted CardioMEMS sensor in 500 adults over age 21 who already have or will receive the implant. The goal is to see if the Vivio system can serve as a simpler, safer alternative for monitoring heart failure over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vivio System (non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a needle-free, implant-free way to monitor heart failure at home, potentially reducing hospital visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage comparison study, not a treatment trial. The Vivio device may not match the accuracy of the implanted CardioMEMS, and results may not change current care.
