About this study

There is a need for developing reliable and convenient technologies for telemonitoring of physiological signals such as respiration, cardiac function, and activity level in children and especially for those with heart disease. Changing symptomatology causes heart failure patients to seek medical attention in order to be assessed and potentially have medication adjusted or additional testing being undertaken. These frequent clinical encounters affect the quality of life of these children and their parents, as well as being costly for the health care system. A textile based technology for telemonitoring application that is comfortable and accurate in its data collection can help to provide real time information on physiologic parameters. The primary research objective is to determine the feasibility and validity of a textile-enabled sensor system in measuring physiologic variables, or "biological signals", related to cardiopulmonary function in children. The study will include 10 patients with heart failure, and 10 healthy controls.

What participants receive

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

  • Myant SKIIN DeviceDevice

    1. Supine position: Participant lays on a bed on their back for 5 minutes
    2. Sitting position: Participant sits on a chair for 5 minutes
    3. Standing position: Participant stands for 5 minutes.
    4. Exercise measurement: treadmill exercise test - the protocol entails increases of 0.5 mph every minute with zero change in the incline. Starting point would 1.5 mph. The test will be interrupted if the target heart rate of 190 beats per minute is reached or if symptoms and/or arrhythmias and ST depression would be observed. Patient will be monitor during recovery for 5 minutes.
    5. Cool-down: Participants cool-down for 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Myant SKIIN Device in people with Heart Failure, run by Aamir Jeewa at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 7 Jul 2023. 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 Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Validate the heart rate measurements obtained using the SKIIN Textile in children with and without heart disease. (time frame: 40 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jul 2023.
