Wearable sensor to monitor hydration in older hospital patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable sensor that tracks your body's fluid levels to help doctors manage dehydration while you're in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You are expected to be in the hospital for at least 3 days
- Your doctor has planned to manage your fluids because you may be dehydrated
- You have no pacemaker or similar implanted electrical device
- You have no MRI or diathermy scheduled
- You have no skin allergies to adhesives or gel, and no broken skin where the sensor would go

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.
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 trial tests a new wearable sensor (like a smart bandage) that tracks your heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs continuously, compared to standard monitoring. It aims to see if this sensor is just as good at keeping an eye on you in busy hospital settings, potentially allowing more freedom of movement.
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.
