Heart patch could revolutionize home monitoring for heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT06243029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable heart monitoring patch in people recovering from a severe heart failure episode. The goal was to see if the patch could collect useful health data at home, making future drug research easier. About 54 adults wore the patch for a few days after leaving the hospital and again 6-8 weeks later. The study did not provide treatment, but aimed to improve how we measure recovery.
