Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 diagnosed with STEMI or NSTEMI who are undergoing PCI.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those allergic to the wearable device materials may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study explores the use of wearable technology to monitor patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who are receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients will wear devices that track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep patterns during their stay in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. The collected data will be analyzed using AI and machine learning to predict clinical outcomes and improve patient management. Follow-ups will assess cardiac function and quality of life over time.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient monitoring and improve clinical outcomes for heart attack patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using wearable technology for monitoring cardiovascular patients, indicating potential success for this approach.
