Using a phone ECG monitor to improve care for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether sending heart rhythm recordings from a phone (using the KardiaMobile ECG device) can improve health care use and patient experience for people with atrial fibrillation. It may help your care team monitor you more smoothly—if you meet the study requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 90 years old
- Have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation within the last 6 months
- Have a smartphone with working cell service for uploading recordings
- Be able to record reliable ECG readings yourself using the KardiaMobile device
- Have a life expectancy of more than 12 months
- Not already use an Apple Watch, Fitbit, or another mobile ECG recorder
- Not have an implanted loop recorder or any internal heart (intracardiac) lead

This trial tests a mobile education program on a smartphone to help you learn about and manage your atrial fibrillation. If found helpful, it could improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial uses a simple, handheld ECG device (like a small card) to check your risk for atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat. You'll record short heart tracings at home, and the study team will review them to find hidden risk factors.
This trial tests if smartphones and their accessories can detect a specific type of irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. If you have a form of atrial fibrillation or a normal heart rhythm, you may help see how well these devices work.
This study uses a smartwatch to track your heart and look for changes in your atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) over time. It aims to learn more about how the condition progresses and the risk of stroke or blood clots, which may help improve future care.
This study tests whether a smartphone camera can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) by measuring blood flow through your fingertip. If it works, it could make checking your heart rhythm easier at home.
This study tests whether a smartphone app (FibriCheck) can accurately track heart rhythm recovery after a cardioversion procedure. If you join, you will use the app at home to measure your heart rhythm, which may reduce the need for frequent clinic visits.
