Smartphone app to check blood flow in ICU patients
This study tests a smartphone app that automatically measures capillary refill time, a way to check blood flow. The app may make it easier for doctors to monitor your circulation in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are a patient currently in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- Your doctor needs to check your capillary refill time (a way to measure blood flow to your skin)
- You are willing to have this test done, or your legal representative agrees
- You do not have any of the following on your fingers: skin wounds, severe circulation problems, missing fingers, tattoos, large scars, or raised moles

This study tests a new way to check blood flow in the tiny blood vessels of the skin for people in the ICU with circulatory failure from sepsis or heart failure. It helps doctors understand how well blood is reaching tissues, which may guide treatment.
This study tests a mobile health app that helps doctors and nurses detect changes in your vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) early while you are in the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal is to catch problems sooner, which might lead to better care and outcomes.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can accurately measure your blood pressure without a cuff. It may help find people with high blood pressure early using only a phone.
This trial tests whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your heart, guided by artificial intelligence, can be reliably done by minimally trained staff. It aims to help doctors decide when to give fluids to ICU patients who need them.
This study checks if a simple blood flow measurement can help predict which patients with sepsis are at higher risk of dying within 28 days. The goal is to see if this test can guide treatment decisions in the ICU.
This study looks at two ways to check blood flow and oxygen use in people with septic shock, a severe infection-related condition. It aims to see if a simple bedside test (fingertip refill) and a blood measure (oxygen extraction ratio) agree, which could help guide treatment.
