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 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.
This study tests whether using a smart watch to track your heart rhythm and guide treatment decisions can help manage paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). Researchers will monitor your heart activity continuously through wearable devices to see if this approach improves outcomes.
This study tests whether a smartwatch and remote check-ins can help people with acute heart failure and atrial fibrillation manage their health better after leaving the hospital. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for emergency care.
This study is testing how well a special smartwatch called Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 can detect irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) compared to standard heart monitoring. If you have symptoms of an irregular heartbeat or have been diagnosed with one before, this watch could help identify it more easily from home.
This study tests whether wearing a small monitoring device during your hospital stay for heart problems helps doctors catch problems faster and keep you safer. The device tracks your heart rhythm and other vital signs continuously.
