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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a mobile education program for people with atrial fibrillation. If you have an Android smartphone and meet the other criteria, you may be able to join and learn how to manage your condition better.
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 trial uses a smartphone and smartwatch to track your atrial fibrillation over time. It aims to understand how the condition progresses and the risk of blood clots.
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 trial tests whether a smartphone app can detect when your heart rhythm normalizes after a procedure called electrical cardioversion. It aims to make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.
