Wearable Patch to Monitor Recovery After Abdominal or Chest Surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a small sensor patch worn on your wrist that collects sweat to monitor your health after abdominal or chest surgery. The patch may help doctors catch complications early and understand your recovery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for elective abdominal or chest surgery with a hospital stay of at least 3 days
- You are willing to wear a biosensor patch on your wrist and provide sweat samples
- You are willing to complete surveys and allow researchers to review your medical records
- You do not have allergies to adhesive tape or certain sweat-stimulating medications (carbachol or pilocarpine)
- You do not have damaged or irritated skin on your wrists where the patch would be placed

This study uses a wearable skin patch placed on you during a sepsis hospital stay to help predict whether you might need to be readmitted after discharge. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk of rehospitalization and plan follow-up care earlier.
This trial is testing whether wearable sensors can help doctors monitor patients more closely after major surgery to catch problems early. You might be able to join if you are having a surgery with a cut of 2 inches or longer.
This study tests a wearable patch called Multisense that monitors your health at home after major gastrointestinal surgery. It's designed to catch problems early so you can stay safe and avoid returning to the hospital.
This study tests whether a small, sticky heart-monitoring patch worn on the chest can safely and helpfully track vital signs (like heart rate) for people in their final days of life with cancer. The goal is to see if this technology helps caregivers and doctors better understand comfort and changes in condition.
This study checks whether common wearable devices can predict or detect problems after treatment or surgery. If you join, the researchers will compare what the wearable shows with what happens to you medically, to see if earlier warnings are possible.
This trial uses a special wristband and sticky patches to record your heartbeat signals. The goal is to train a computer to accurately measure a heart time interval, which could help doctors monitor heart health more easily.
