Trial summary

The investigators are developing two new medical instruments: 1. the Intelligent Sensor Belt (ISB), and 2. the Body Composition and Hydration Status Analyzer (BC-HS-A). ISB serves the purpose of measuring calorie/ energy consumption of the human body during physical activity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Calorie Balance Monitoring and Analysis of Body Composition and Hydration

The investigators are developing two new medical instruments: 1. the Intelligent Sensor Belt (ISB), and 2. the Body Composition and Hydration Status Analyzer (BC-HS-A). ISB serves the purpose of measuring calorie/ energy consumption of the human body during physical activity. The BC-HS-A measures the body composition, i.e. the fat and lean body mass and the hydration status i.e the amount of water inside and outside of the body cells.

The goal of this pilot study is to obtain data from the investigators prototype medical instruments: 1. ISB, and 2. BC-HS-A during physical exercise and compare those results with readings of other commercially available instruments or exercise equipments. The investigators would be testing for technical feasibility and, through comparison with existing measuring devices, the reliability of the investigators prototype.

Read the detailed description

Our goal is the development of a non-invasive, Portable Comprehensive Metabolic Monitoring System (PCMMS) for continuous measurement and monitoring of parameters of the human energy metabolism.

The current project focuses on the development of two hardware components of PCMMS: 1. the Intelligent Sensor Belt (ISB), and 2. the Body Composition (BC) \& Hydration Status (HS) Analyzer (BC--HS-A).

ISB is designed to be worn around the chest or waist and measures the energy expenditure of physical activity (PAE) via sensors for heart rate, tri-axial acceleration, and temperature.

BC-HS-A utilizes multi-frequency bio-impedance measurements through electrodes attached to one hand and opposite foot. This instrument is not used continuously but intermittently when momentary values of BC and HS are desired.

This pilot study is designed to obtain data from our instruments during a limited exercise session to gage its function and to determine its feasibility for the intended use. The pilot study will be performed on healthy volunteers who would wear ISB during a graded cardiac stress testing on various exercise machines such as the stationary bicycle, treadmill, stair case, and rowing machine. PAE measured by ISB will be compared with the estimated results of the particular exercise equipment. The BC measuring function of our BC-HS-A will be compared with a commercially available bioimpedance analyzer. Changes of hydration status during exercise measured by our BC-HS-A will be compared against precision measurements of body weight before and after exercise estimating total water loss of the body. All results will be reported in a peer-reviewed journal.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cardiac stress testing with an exercise machineDevice

    Standardized graded cardiac stress testing with an exercise machine will be performed according to the protocol of the American Heart Association

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of the measuring function of our prototype devices with that one of commercially available measuring instruments

    Measured: The outcome is assessed within few weeks of actual testing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing cardiac stress testing with an exercise machine in people with Energy Metabolism and Energy Expenditure, run by Ori Diagnostic Instruments LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the measuring function of our prototype devices with that one of commercially available measuring instruments (time frame: The outcome is assessed within few weeks of actual testing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2012.
