Wearable heart monitor for stroke risk screening
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable heart monitor (ECG) to detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, which can raise stroke risk. It checks if this device can help find stroke risk early so you can get the right care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 40 years old.
- You have been identified as being at high risk for stroke (for example, during a stroke screening).
- You can use a small wearable device on your own or with help from a family member.
- You do not have a serious illness that would make wearing the device hard or unsafe.
- You have not already had a heart monitoring device implanted in your chest.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a small, wearable heart patch can help find an irregular heartbeat condition called atrial fibrillation in older adults living in the community. It aims to catch this condition early, which may help prevent serious complications like stroke.
This study tests whether wearing a special chest band or bralette can help detect if atrial fibrillation comes back after a catheter ablation procedure. If you join, you'll wear the monitor for about 1 month before and 6 months after the procedure to keep track of your heart rhythm.
This trial tests if using a smart wearable device can help people at high risk for stroke stay active and reduce their risk. You may be able to join if you have certain health conditions or habits that increase your stroke risk.
This study tests if using a digital device (like a smartwatch or phone) can help find an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. Finding it early may help prevent stroke, especially in people over 65.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how much time you spend in atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). By wearing a smartwatch, you may help find an easier way to track your condition without frequent clinic visits.
This trial tests a blood pressure monitor that can also detect atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may join if you are 22 or older, have an average-sized arm, and either have been diagnosed with AF or have never had it — as long as you don't have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
