Wristband screening for anemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether a wearable wristband can help detect if someone has anemia (low red blood cells). Researchers will compare signals from the device with blood test results to see if the band can spot anemia without a needle stick.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new, painless light-based device to check for anemia (low blood count) without needing a needle. If it works well, it could make anemia screening faster and more comfortable in community health events.
This study tests a painless device that shines light through the skin to check for anaemia (low red blood cells) in babies. If the device works well, your baby may not need as many needle blood tests.
This study uses wearable technology (like smartwatches) to monitor your health and quality of life while you receive treatment for blood cancers like myeloma or myelodysplastic syndromes. The goal is to help doctors better understand how blood transfusions and other supportive care affect how you feel day-to-day.
This study tests a new way to measure your heart's electrical activity using a smart wristband and chest stickers, aiming to improve how doctors track heart health. The data is analyzed by artificial intelligence to recreate a standard heart test (ECG).
This trial tests a wearable chest sensor (called HEMOTAG) to monitor heart events in people with long-standing Type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease or specific diabetes-related complications. The sensor is worn at home for short periods to catch early signs of heart trouble, aiming to improve personalized care.
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.
