Stroke study: Neuralert Monitor
Official title The Neuralert Stroke Monitor Pilot Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06368193
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if the Neuralert device can detect strokes before they are found by normal medical checks. It also tests how well the device connects to Wi-Fi and fits into hospital routines.
- Who it's for
- People who are in the hospital for surgery or stroke care.
- What's involved
- Participants will wear a small device on each arm. The device sends data to doctors to help monitor for stroke signs.
- Time commitment
- The monitoring lasts up to five days, depending on the device's battery or connection.
