Watch for hidden atrial fibrillation after unexplained stroke
This study uses a smartwatch and a longer heart-monitoring test (a Holter) to find an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation after a stroke whose cause is unclear. If they detect it, it may help guide better prevention and treatment to reduce future stroke risk.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 55 years+ - NCT06005233Recruiting
Smartwatch heart monitoring after unexplained stroke
This trial uses a smartwatch to look for hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) in people who have had a stroke or TIA with no known cause. It could help find the reason for the stroke and guide treatment to prevent another one.

Testing Garmin watches for monitoring vital signs in the hospital
This trial compares two Garmin smartwatches to hospital monitors to see if they can reliably track your heart rate, oxygen, and other vital signs. If you are staying in the hospital for at least another day, you might help find out if these watches work well for patient monitoring.
GenkAges 18 years+ - NCT07372729Recruiting
Smartwatch program for heart health in overweight adults
This trial tests if a smartwatch app can help people who are overweight and have slightly high blood pressure, sugar, or cholesterol improve their heart health. If you qualify, you'll use a smartwatch to track your activity and get coaching.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07067151Enrolling by invitation

This study uses a smartwatch to track smoking in daily life. Researchers want to see if wearable devices can help understand smoking patterns in people with lower income and education who smoke regularly.
Kansas City, KansasAges 21–120 - NCT06792188Recruiting
Using a smartwatch to predict sleep apnea
This trial tests if a smartwatch can help predict sleep apnea in people who have symptoms like snoring or daytime sleepiness. It may offer a simpler way to identify the condition.
SeoulAges 22–85 - NCT04437914Recruiting
Tests a smartwatch to spot heart rhythm and wiring problems
This study checks how accurately a smartwatch can detect heart rhythm and electrical “wiring” problems compared with a standard heart test. If it works well, it could help make heart monitoring easier and more accessible.
Teresina, PiauíAges 18 years+ - NCT05277935Recruiting
Wearable activity tracking for hormone-positive metastatic breast cancer
This study tests whether using a wearable watch and smartphone app to track activity and fitness can help monitor health in people with hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer while they take standard hormone therapy plus palbociclib. It mainly requires that you are already on these medicines for at least three months and can use the devices reliably.
Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT05573633Recruiting
Smartwatch test to detect irregular heartbeats after heart surgery
This study checks whether a smartwatch can spot an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation soon after on-pump heart surgery. If the smartwatch works well, it could help clinicians find the problem earlier after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05937477Recruiting
AI tool study to predict chemotherapy side effects and symptoms
This study tests an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool in a phone app that helps predict side effects and symptoms from chemotherapy. It may help patients and their care team plan and respond to side effects more effectively.
