A wearable sensor trial for monitoring hydration in older adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable bioimpedance sensor that measures body water levels. It could help doctors manage dehydration without invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are in the hospital and need treatment for dehydration.
- Your hospital stay is expected to last at least 3 days.
- You do not have skin allergies to adhesives or hydrogels.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electrical device.
- You are not scheduled for an MRI or diathermy.
- You are conscious and not critically ill.

This study tests a wearable device that helps monitor hydration in older adults who come to the emergency department with dehydration. If you qualify, you may help doctors learn if this device can improve care.
This study tests a mobile app that helps older adults track how much water and other fluids they drink. The goal is to see if using the app improves knowledge, habits, and health related to staying hydrated.
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 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.
This trial tests a new sensor system that tracks your heart's electrical activity and blood pressure continuously for 24 hours. It may replace traditional monitors that use wires, making monitoring more comfortable.
