Wearable Biosensor Patch for Post-Surgery Monitoring
This study is testing a wearable biosensor patch for patients having abdominal or chest surgery. The patch aims to non-invasively monitor important substances that are usually checked with blood tests, potentially reducing the need for frequent blood draws. It uses gentle electrical stimulation to collect sweat and then measures things like glucose and inflammation markers. The main goal is to see if collecting sweat with the patch is practical and safe. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, scheduled for an abdominal or chest surgery with at least a 3-day hospital stay, and willing to provide sweat samples and complete surveys. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 20 planned participants, testing a wearable biosensor patch.
- What's involved
- You would wear a biosensor patch during surgery, and then wear another patch on your wrist for 2-4 hours, up to twice daily, for up to 3 days after surgery. You will also provide sweat samples, complete surveys, and allow review of your medical records.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, successful sweat collections, is measured for up to 1 year.

What this trial measures
- Proportion of successful sweat collections (feasibility)Up to 1 year
A successful collection will be defined by patch application with data successfully recorded and sent to the database. Examples of failed collections include, but are not limited to, a patch falling off before data collection can occur or a patch failing to collect and send data to the database. The number of successful collections will be reported as a proportion of the total number of attempted applications. All analyses will be descriptive. Unless otherwise specified, continuous variables will be summarized with mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range, minimum, and maximum; categorical variables with counts and percentages. Given the small sample, two-sided 95 percent exact (Clopper-Pearson) confidence intervals will be provided for proportions. In addition to the overall success rate, the success rates for each type of patch (intraoperative and postoperative) will be described. All causes of failure (including unknown causes) will be reported.
