ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a new technology called Tight Alright that helps improve compression therapy for people with venous leg ulcers, which are wounds that can form on the lower legs due to poor blood flow. Compression therapy, which involves wrapping the leg with special bandages to apply pressure, is the usual treatment, but it can be hard to get the right amount of pressure and keep it consistent. The Tight Alright system uses a small wearable device that measures the pressure under the bandages and sends this information to a mobile app, helping healthcare providers apply and maintain the correct pressure more accurately.

The study will include adults aged 65 to 74 who have venous leg ulcers. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive the usual compression therapy without feedback, and the other will use the Tight Alright technology to guide their treatment. The researchers will look at how well the wounds heal, how quickly they heal, whether the pressure is kept at the right level, and how easy the system is to use. This study aims to see if using this connected health technology can make treatment more effective and help patients stay involved in their care.
