Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06051058Recruiting
App for managing health after hospital discharge
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help people with multiple health conditions manage their care after leaving the hospital. It may help you feel more supported and avoid confusion during the transition from hospital to home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT06555757Recruiting
Using AI and sound to predict heart failure worsening
This trial uses a smartphone app to record sounds from your chest and breathing. An AI system will analyze these sound patterns to predict when heart failure symptoms might get worse, so you can get help sooner.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06593223Recruiting
Noninvasive heart sound test for heart failure congestion
This trial tests a new, noninvasive device that uses low-frequency heart sounds to check for fluid buildup (congestion) in people with heart failure. It may help doctors monitor your condition without needles or surgery.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06604468Recruiting
Portable chest device for detecting lung fluid in heart failure
This trial tests a small, portable device worn on the chest that measures changes in fluid levels in your lungs to help detect early signs of fluid buildup (pulmonary congestion). This could help people with heart failure avoid emergency hospital visits.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06628973Recruiting
Social activities for women with heart failure
This trial tests a social program to help women with heart failure better stick with their medications and feel healthier. You'll be connected to community activities and support tailored to your needs.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06705023RecruitingPhase 2
Fat-derived cell therapy for heart failure
This study tests whether taking a small amount of your own belly fat (through liposuction), processing it, and injecting the cells back into your heart can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure due to blocked arteries. The trial is for patients whose heart pumps weakly (ejection fraction of 40% or less) and who are already on standard medications.
AstanaAges 21–80 - NCT06726109Recruiting
FOCUS study on acute heart failure
This trial is studying patients admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure. It will collect information to better understand and treat people with low heart pumping strength (ejection fraction less than 40%) and fluid retention.
Genk, BelgiumAges Any age - NCT06819618Recruiting
Predicting heart failure outcomes with machine learning
This trial uses machine learning to analyze data from a smartwatch to predict how heart failure progresses. It may help doctors better understand your condition and tailor treatments.
Goettigen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06909682Recruiting
AI monitoring with wearables for chronic heart failure
This trial tests an AI system that uses wearable devices and mini-invasive tools to monitor people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to detect changes early and help manage the condition at home.
SalernoAges 19 years+ - NCT06973902Recruiting
A study on heart pump therapy and stress echo for advanced heart failure
This trial tests how well a heart stress ultrasound (dobutamine echo) can predict if you will get better from a special heart device called cardiac contractility modulation (CCM). CCM is a pacemaker-like implant for people with advanced heart failure who still have symptoms even with the best medicines. The study will help doctors know which patients benefit the most from this device.
Marcianise, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07008365RecruitingPhase 3
