Wristwatch device to assess frailty in older heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wristwatch-like device that may help doctors understand frailty (overall weakness) in older adults having heart procedures. Participants wear the watch before their procedure, and the device may help tailor their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 70 years old or older.
- You need to be scheduled for one of these heart procedures: aortic valve replacement, mitral valve repair with MitraClip, pacemaker implantation, or a coronary angioplasty (PCI).
- You must be able to wear a wristwatch-style device without skin problems or injuries on your wrist.
- You must be able to give your informed consent to take part.
- You must not have significant memory or thinking problems.

This study tests a special watch (the Corsano CardioWatch) that can detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you're already getting heart monitoring or have symptoms, this watch might be an easier way to track your heart rhythm over a few days.
This study tests whether a wearable watch and chest sensor can measure body temperature as accurately as the standard rectal thermometer used in intensive care. If successful, this could make temperature monitoring more comfortable for patients.
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).
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 tests a new wrist device that measures blood pressure to see if it matches the standard arm-cuff measurement. It could offer a more comfortable way to check blood pressure at home.
This study tests whether wearable devices (like smartwatches) can help find early signs of heart disease in people ages 40 to 68 who have risk factors. If you join, you may get extra screening with a heart CT scan to catch problems early.
