Recognition of Heart Failure With Micro Electro-Mechanical Sensors (REFLECS)

Study Purpose

The study will test the ability a novel wearable sensor based on a smartphone app (Precordior CardioSignal app) in combination with a sensor device (Suunto Movesense sensor) to non-invasively measure cardiac motion and function.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04378179
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied.

Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension
Additional Details

Heart Failure (HF) is a syndrome where the heart is unable to pump or fill adequately to meet the circulatory needs of the body. The main purpose of this study is to test the ability a novel wearable sensor based on a smartphone app (Precordior CardioSignal app) in combination with a sensor device (Suunto Movesense sensor) to non-invasively measure cardiac motion and function. The phone and sensor are positioned on the chest and echocardiography is used as a gold standard to assess cardiac mechanics including myocardial strain, cardiac torsion, diastolic filling characteristics, hemodynamics including pressure estimates and stroke volume.
