Smartwatch study aims to keep pregnant heart patients safer at home
NCT ID NCT06818760
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a wrist-worn device can help monitor pregnant women with congenital heart disease. Researchers will track heart rhythms and other data from 50 participants to see if the wearable can detect early signs of trouble. The goal is to improve care and reduce the need for frequent clinic visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Masimo Smart Wristband
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better home monitoring tools for pregnant women with heart conditions, potentially catching problems earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The wearable may not detect all complications accurately.
