Smartphone pressure monitor for leg ulcer treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new pressure-monitoring technology that works with your smartphone to help improve compression therapy for venous leg ulcers. If you are already getting compression therapy for your leg ulcer, you may be able to join.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a sensor-guided compression system improves healing for venous leg ulcers. If you have a chronic leg ulcer and are already using compression therapy, you may qualify.
This trial tests whether a smart bandage with remote monitoring helps heal venous leg ulcers better than standard care. If you have a vein-related leg ulcer that has lasted more than 3 weeks, this study may be an option for you.
This study tests a skin-measurement method (bioimpedance) to monitor how venous leg ulcers heal while using standard compression therapy. It may help the study team track healing sooner and more accurately so treatment can be adjusted if needed.
This study tests a smartphone-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to help monitor hard-to-heal leg ulcers caused by poor arterial blood flow. The goal is to see if the tool can accurately assess wound healing at home.
This study tests if using a smartphone app or tablet helps doctors and patients work together to prevent or manage blood clots in the legs or lungs. It is for adults in the hospital who have or are at high risk of a blood clot.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to monitor chronic wounds at home—like diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, or pressure sores—improves care and reduces costs. You'll photograph your wound regularly at home and share images with your healthcare team.
