AI tool to detect thyrotoxic state using wearables in Graves’ disease
Official title: Performance Evaluation of the Software Medical Device to Detect the Thyrotoxic State in Patients With Hyperthyroidism
Run by Thyroscope INC. · NCT07017907 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A wearable-based AI tool is tested to see if it can flag thyrotoxicosis in adults with Graves’ disease by comparing heart-rate data during sleep to thyroid tests.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 22 years or older with newly diagnosed or treated Graves’ disease, able to use a smartwatch and able to provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with certain heart conditions or medications that significantly alter heart rate may not benefit from this approach.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, prospective observational study evaluating Glandy HYPER, a software medical device that analyzes sleep heart-rate data from wearables and thyroid function tests to detect thyrotoxicosis in adults with Graves’ disease. Participants wear a smartwatch during sleep for 12 weeks and provide TFTs at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the F1 score comparing the device’s output with thyrotoxicosis diagnosed by free T4 levels; secondary endpoints include sensitivity, specificity, and AUC. The study maintains standard clinical care with no treatment changes and aims to assess generalizability by comparing results to prior Korean studies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the tool could help monitor thyroid status using everyday wearables, potentially enabling earlier detection of thyrotoxicosis.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in Korea suggested potential for wearable-based detection, and this study tests generalizability in a U.S. cohort.
