Testing a Wearable Sensor Patch for Heart Shock Patients

This trial is testing the NIRSense Tissue Oximetry Sensor System, a small, wearable patch that sticks to your skin and continuously measures how much oxygen is reaching your tissues and how well your heart is pumping. The sensor uses light technology to peek just below the skin's surface and give doctors real-time information about your condition, which could help them spot problems earlier and treat you faster.

Cardiogenic shock—when the heart suddenly can't pump blood effectively—is a medical emergency with a poor outlook, especially in heart attack patients. Right now, doctors rely on tests and blood draws done every few hours, which means they might miss warning signs of decline. The new treatment could provide doctors with continuous, around-the-clock monitoring so they can catch problems and start treatment before your condition gets worse.
