Validation of Wearable Sensors to Monitor Tissue Hydration and Stiffness in Patients with Lymphedema

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial in adult patients diagnosed with upper extremity lymphedema is to test the safety and effectiveness of small, wearable sensors that may be able to measure lymphedema. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Do these sensors detect lymphedema? * If so, how accurate are these wearable sensors? Participants will complete one in-person measurement session and one phone call with study staff 14 days after the measurement session to check-in on the participant's well-being.
