Wearable device for detecting dehydration in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device that checks for dehydration in older adults who come to the emergency room. If you are being treated for dehydration, the device might help doctors monitor your condition more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a wearable sensor that tracks your body's fluid levels to help doctors manage dehydration while you're in the hospital.
This study tests a smartphone app that helps older adults track how much water they drink. The goal is to see if using the app improves their knowledge about hydration and encourages healthier drinking habits.
This study tests a wearable wrist device that measures hydration by sensing blood flow in your skin. Researchers will monitor how well it works when you're dehydrated on purpose, which could help develop better ways to track hydration for health and fitness.
This study is testing a new wearable device that continuously tracks vital signs like heart rate and breathing. It aims to see if the device can help monitor older adults in the hospital and at home after discharge.
This study tests if a wearable device can spot early signs of heart failure getting worse. If you already use a heart monitor and have stable readings, you may help show how a non-invasive wearable could alert you sooner.
This study tests a new way to detect and warn about fainting in people with certain types of syncope (temporary loss of consciousness). It may help those who have already had a specific fainting evaluation called an ARS assessment.
