New wearable sensors put to the test for comfort and accuracy
NCT ID NCT05397951
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if newly developed wearable sensors are comfortable and safe for healthy adults aged 18 to 99. Researchers will also check if these sensors accurately measure vital signs like heart rate and breathing compared to approved medical devices. The goal is to gather information to improve future sensor designs.
