Watch ECG vs. Holter for palpitations
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are seeing a doctor or going to the ER because of heart palpitations (a fast or fluttering feeling in your chest).
- You do not already have a known heart rhythm problem that explains your symptoms.
- You are willing to wear a research watch all the time, except when it's charging.
- You have a personal smartphone that can run the Health Mate app and has internet access.
- You do not have a pacemaker, ICD, or other heart device already implanted.

This study tests if a special smartwatch (ECG Watch) can help find the cause of palpitations when you wear it at home. You would record your heart activity whenever you feel symptoms, and the data is sent to your doctor.
This study tests if a smartwatch can detect irregular heartbeats as well as a standard Holter monitor. If you have symptoms like palpitations, pre-syncope, or dizziness and are already scheduled for a Holter test, this trial may offer a simpler way to monitor your heart.
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 is testing whether a connected watch (like a smartwatch) can accurately record your heart's electrical activity (an ECG) during a hospital stay or clinic visit. If it works well, it could make checking your heart easier and more convenient.
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 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.
