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 whether a smartwatch can help doctors record heart activity when you feel palpitations. You would use the watch at home to capture your heart's rhythm during symptoms, which may help diagnose the cause.
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 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.
This study tests whether using a handheld ECG device at home can help monitor and detect heart rhythm problems in people with unexplained palpitations or dizziness. Participants will use a smartphone-connected device to record their heart's electrical activity and improve diagnosis.
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).
