Stick-On ultrasound patch could spot hidden clots and heart trouble in real time
NCT ID NCT07009873
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new wearable ultrasound sensor that sticks to the skin like a patch. The goal is to see if it can help doctors find and monitor deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) and heart conditions early, without needing bulky machines. About 300 adults with heart failure, leg clots, or those in the ICU will wear the sensor, and researchers will check how clear and reliable the images are.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 yrs and able to consent * Relevant diagnosis for study arm (heart failure, lower-limb DVT, or ICU monitoring) * Adequate acoustic window and intact skin at sensor site Arm-specific: * Heart-failure arm: Clinically stable HFrEF or HFpEF on standard therapy * DVT arm: Imaging-confirmed lower-limb DVT, anticoagulated or scheduled for intervention * ICU arm: ICU/post-op patient requiring continuous bedside ultrasound Exclusion Criteria: * Poor acoustic window preventing interpretable images * Local skin infection, open wound, or implant/hardware blocking sensor * Inability to cooperate with monitoring Arm-specific: * Heart-failure arm: Acute MI or uncontrolled arrhythmia in past 3 months * DVT arm: Active bleeding or severe coagulopathy * ICU arm: Unstable multi-organ failure precluding safe monitoring
