Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate whether hyperkalemia, a potentially life-threatening condition in dialysis patients, can be detected early using a wearable single-lead ECG device. Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis will wear a chest-attached ECG sensor (HiCardi) during dialysis sessions. ECG data will be collected four times over six weeks, in coordination with routine blood tests measuring serum potassium levels. The goal is to analyze changes in ECG waveforms, such as T waves, and determine if these correlate with elevated potassium levels. The study is non-interventional and observational, focusing on real-time, non-invasive monitoring. It is expected to improve clinical decision-making by enabling early detection of hyperkalemia without additional blood tests.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hemodialysis Patients

Adults with chronic kidney disease receiving maintenance hemodialysis three times per week. Participants will wear a HiCardi single-lead wearable ECG device during dialysis sessions for 8 weeks. ECG data will be collected four times in coordination with routine blood potassium tests to evaluate the correlation between ECG waveform changes and hyperkalemia.

HiCardi wearable ECG

Intervention Type DEVICE

A chest-attached, single-lead wearable ECG device used to collect real-time ECG data from hemodialysis patients. The device records ECG waveforms during dialysis sessions and transmits the data to a secure cloud platform. This non-invasive tool is used to analyze T-wave morphology for early detection of hyperkalemia in patients with chronic kidney disease.
