Comparing a wearable heart monitor to a standard Holter monitor
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares a new wearable heart monitor (HeartWatch) that you wear on your left bicep to the standard Holter monitor. It aims to see if the HeartWatch is as good at recording your heart's rhythm over 24-48 hours, so you might have a more comfortable option for heart monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years of age or older
- Your doctor has recommended a Holter monitor test (a portable device that records your heartbeat)
- You can wear the study device on your left upper arm (bicep) for the entire study period
- Your left bicep measures between 22 cm and 45 cm (about 8.7 to 17.7 inches)
- You do not have a permanent pacemaker or implantable defibrillator
- You are not allergic to any parts of the Holter monitor or the study device
- You do not have a medical condition that prevents wearing the device on your left arm (e.g., a blood clot, dialysis fistula, or nerve pain)

This trial tests a smartwatch tool to track heart rhythm and detect problems in people with heart disease. It may help find irregular heartbeats early during routine checkups.
This study compares a new heart monitor (Heartnote) with standard monitors used in Japan to see which is better at detecting heart rhythm problems. If you have symptoms like palpitations or dizziness and are already being prescribed Heartnote, you may be able to join.
This study tests a special watch (the Corsano CardioWatch) that can detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you're already getting heart monitoring or have symptoms, this watch might be an easier way to track your heart rhythm over a few days.
This trial uses a smartwatch to monitor your heart remotely. It aims to improve health outcomes for people with acute heart failure who also have an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests whether a special smartwatch can record heart rhythm during palpitations as well as a traditional Holter monitor. If you have unexplained palpitations and are willing to wear the watch, your participation could help doctors find better ways to diagnose heart rhythm issues.
This study tests a new way to measure your heart's electrical activity using a smart wristband and chest stickers, aiming to improve how doctors track heart health. The data is analyzed by artificial intelligence to recreate a standard heart test (ECG).
