Smartphone app for atrial fibrillation and weight management
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and a higher body weight manage their condition through tailored exercise guidance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a Fitbit activity tracker and a supportive exercise program helps people with AFib become more active. It may help you feel better and manage your heart rhythm.
This trial tests whether apixaban, a blood thinner, works well for people with atrial fibrillation who also have heart or circulation conditions. It uses a smartphone app to help track your treatment.
This study tests a mobile health app to help African American women with overweight or obesity in specific DC and Maryland neighborhoods improve their heart health. Participants will use the app and wear a wrist device to track activity, with the goal of reducing heart disease risk.
This trial tests a mobile education program on a smartphone to help you learn about and manage your atrial fibrillation. If found helpful, it could improve your symptoms and quality of life.
This study tests whether a smartphone app (FibriCheck) can accurately track heart rhythm recovery after a cardioversion procedure. If you join, you will use the app at home to measure your heart rhythm, which may reduce the need for frequent clinic visits.
This study tests whether a program of exercise and healthy eating changes can reduce how often atrial fibrillation (AFib) happens and help you lose weight. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have AFib, and are ready to make lifestyle changes.
