ViTrack continuous non-invasive wrist blood pressure monitoring for surgical patients
Official title: Performance Evaluation of the ViTrack Continuous Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement Device
Run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston · NCT06719518 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This test sees if the ViTrack wrist device can continuously track blood pressure in adults having noncardiac surgery who need an arterial line.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults scheduled for noncardiac surgery who will have an intra-arterial line, have a palpable wrist pulse, and can provide informed consent are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without a clinical need for arterial monitoring or those with wrist deformity, arteriovenous dialysis shunts, amputations, or large inter-arm blood pressure differences are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study compares the ViTrack non-invasive wrist device against invasive intra-arterial pressure (IAP) recordings during routine noncardiac surgeries. Participants who have a clinical indication for arterial monitoring will wear the ViTrack device while IAP is recorded, allowing calibration and waveform comparison across a wide, clinically relevant pressure range. The protocol excludes patients with wrist abnormalities, dialysis shunts, or large inter-arm blood pressure differences, and requires a palpable pulse and the ability to consent. Data analysis will quantify agreement, bias, and tracking performance between ViTrack and arterial line measurements under dynamic clinical conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ViTrack could provide continuous, accurate blood pressure monitoring without an arterial line, reducing invasiveness and expanding monitoring options.
How similar studies have gone: Other non-invasive continuous blood pressure technologies have shown mixed but promising results, though ViTrack's specific design has limited published outcome data.
