About this study

Official title: A Comparative Clinical Trial to Assess the Accuracy of the TensorTip, a Novel Non Invasive Device for the Measurement of Physiological and Blood Chemistry Parameters

  1. Aim: The aim of the clinical trial is to study the accuracy of the TensorTip device compared with registered (FDA-approved) invasive and non-invasive devices.
  2. Hypothesis:

Human physiological biomarkers may be measured from the color distribution of the internal or external (skin) tissue. The technology of the TensorTip finger-mounted device is based on the color distribution of the peripheral blood tissue, which enables the measurement of certain biomarkers and vital signs under consideration.

Read the detailed description

The TensorTip (previously named Soft Touch) is a novel non invasive Finger tip device that. The Tensor Tip is a non-invasive device which was designed and aimed to measure a wide range of physiological and bio-parameters such as blood glucose, hemoglobin and hematocrit, blood PH, oxygen saturation SpO2, blood carbon dioxide, blood pressure, peripheral pulse and more based on the temporarily color distribution of the tissue under consideration. The Tensor Tip is based on real time color image sensor, real time photographing the fingertip tissue. A color image sensor of the type used in the Tensor Tip enables a wide range of information in the spectral, resolution, dynamic range and time domains enabling further investigation of the blood chromatic changes as a function body physiology. The concept behind this investigation reflects the idea that a change in human physiology condition would temporarily change the blood pigmentation.

The present study is aimed to assess the accuracy of the novel device in measuring all the above mentioned parameters by recording AS IS the change of the fingertip color tissue while simultaneous recording the standard invasive measured parameters on daily or periodic routine in the hospitalized patients.

This vast data recordings (tissue and references) enable the Tensor tip to analyze a particular bio parameter. The tensor tip is calibrated to a certain bio parameter based on the vast data set collected.

The bio parameter under consideration are: Arterial Systolic and Diastolic, MAP, PA systolic, PA Diastolic, CO, Heart rate, Stroke volume, WBC, RBC, Hgb, HCT ,Iron, PLT, PH, PCO2, PO2, HCO3, SaO2 , Na, K, Cl, CO2, Bun, Cr, Gluc, HGB (A1C),TBiLi, LDL, HDL.

This study hopes to demonstrate the connection between blood color pigmentation and certain bio parameters for simplifying monitoring procedure and particular home monitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the TensorTip Accuracy Against Hospital Periodical Readings.

    To validate the parameters with similar measures obtained with standard invasive techniques in hospitalized patients.

    Methodology:

    Eligible real time color signal obtained by the TensorTip shall be recorded simultaneously during the monitoring performed.

    An algorithm shall be designed according to the blood color distribution to each parameter and a final test shall be recorded signals.

    Statistical analysis for each parameter shall perform on the entire eligible recorded signals.

    Determination of Accuracy:

    Err = √(1/N ∑N (Ref(k)-NewDevice(k)) ^2 ) (k=1)

    For each parameter a satisfactory result is considered when Err satisfies the industry requirement.

    Results viewing Each parameter comparative study shall be presented on a (X,Y) plan versus a regression line where X - represents the results measured by TensorTip and Y - the reference results.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non invasive peripheral blood monitoring in people with Anemia and Diabetes, run by Cnoga Medical Ltd. 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 4 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 TensorTip Accuracy Against Hospital Periodical Readings. (time frame: one year). 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 31 Jan 2019.
