Wearable skin sensor for monitoring after abdominal or chest surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing a small, wearable patch (like a sensor) that can monitor your health without needles or other invasive methods. The patch is placed on your wrist after abdominal or chest surgery to see if it can help doctors track your recovery and catch any problems early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a planned (elective) surgery on your abdomen or chest, and you are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 3 days after surgery.
- You need to be willing to give sweat samples, fill out surveys, and allow the researchers to look at your medical records for the study.
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study procedures (give consent).
- If you have allergies to carbachol, pilocarpine, or adhesive tape, or if you have irritated or damaged skin on your wrists, this study may not be right for you.
- Pregnant women are not eligible for this study.

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 tests a wearable device that tracks changes related to blood loss in patients during and after surgery. The goal is to see if the device can help nurses and doctors detect problems early.
This trial tests and “validates” how well wearable sensors work on the skin in healthy adults. It may help researchers build safer, more reliable wearables—but you would need healthy skin and the ability to do some moderate exercise during the study.
