Radar waves could replace wires for heart monitoring during surgery
NCT ID NCT07684222
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new device that uses millimeter wave radar to monitor heart function without touching the skin. The goal is to see if it can accurately measure heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and other cardiac signals in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. If it works, this contactless approach could make monitoring more comfortable and less intrusive than current wired methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- millimeter wave radar-based non-contact cardiac monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a comfortable, wireless way to track heart function in surgical patients, reducing the need for sticky electrodes and cables.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The radar system may not be as accurate as standard monitors, and results may not apply to all patients.
