Heart monitor patch for hidden irregular heartbeat in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a small patch on the chest for a few weeks can find hidden irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in people with higher stroke risk. Finding it early may help prevent strokes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- You have a stroke risk score (CHA2DS2-VASc) of 3 or more, which is based on your age, sex, and history of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure, or stroke.
- You are not currently taking blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants).
- You have not been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in the past.
- You have not had heart or chest surgery in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or implanted heart monitor, and you are not allergic to adhesives on the skin.

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 a new wireless, single-patch monitor that tracks your heart rhythm while you're in the hospital. It's designed to be more comfortable and easier than traditional wired monitors, and it helps doctors keep a close eye on your heart.
This study tests if an Apple Watch can help detect when atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) comes back after heart surgery. You'll wear an Apple Watch and a small skin patch (Zio Patch) to track your heart rhythm.
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.
This study tests whether wearing a small heart rhythm patch at home can detect irregular heartbeats in people with high blood pressure. It may help catch heart rhythm problems early before they cause symptoms.
This study uses a small patch (M.E.M.O. Patch) to continuously monitor your heart rhythm for hidden atrial fibrillation, a treatable cause of stroke. The goal is to see if the patch can find irregular heartbeats that standard tests might miss.
