Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 and older with venous leg ulcers receiving compression therapy at Parkview Noble Center for Wound Healing who can use a smartphone app.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to compression therapy or cannot benefit from remote monitoring may see no improvement.

What this trial studies
The study uses a connected-health pressure-monitoring system to measure sub-bandage pressure at multiple leg points during compression therapy for venous leg ulcers. Data are transmitted to a mobile app and cloud database to guide application at the point of care and enable remote monitoring. Participants are assigned to standard unguided compression or guided compression with the device, with outcomes assessed at the Parkview Noble Center for Wound Healing. The trial is conducted at a single site and includes adults with VLUs who can use a smart device and have a compatible smartphone. Blinding occurs for device use in the control arm, while the intervention arm receives real-time feedback to optimize therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience better wound healing and more consistent pressure therapy through objective feedback.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies with similar remote monitoring approaches have shown promising improvements in adherence and treatment accuracy, though this specific pressure-monitoring system is novel in VLUs.
