Smartwatch heart rate study using sound
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a smartwatch can measure your heart rate and heart rate variability by listening to the sounds of your heartbeat. It may help develop a simple, non-invasive way to monitor heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- No tattoos where the smartwatch will sit on your skin.
- Ready to do some physical activity (like walking or light exercise), as confirmed by a short safety questionnaire.
- No implanted heart devices like a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- Must be able to record your heart sounds with both a smartphone and a special pin before starting exercise.

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 uses a wearable wrist device to monitor your health data and look for early signs of heart problems. It's for people with or without heart disease, and involves wearing a watch-like device and using a smartphone app.
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 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 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 a smartwatch can accurately measure how fast you breathe. Researchers will compare the smartwatch's readings to medical-grade equipment to see if smartwatches could be useful for health monitoring.
