Testing smartphones to detect irregular heart rhythm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if smartphones and their accessories can detect a specific type of irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. If you have a form of atrial fibrillation or a normal heart rhythm, you may help see how well these devices work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 22 years old
- You must have either permanent atrial fibrillation, long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (for 12 months or more), or a confirmed diagnosis of persistent atrial fibrillation or normal sinus rhythm within the past year
- You cannot have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your chest
- You cannot have a missing hand, arm, or leg, or be unable to use your hands or arms
- You must have both index fingers without tattoos, reduced blood flow, or calluses, and you must not be missing all fingers on any hand

This study tests whether a smartphone camera can detect an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) by measuring blood flow through your fingertip. If it works, it could make checking your heart rhythm easier at home.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can detect when your heart rhythm normalizes after a procedure called electrical cardioversion. It aims to make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to check your heart rhythm after a stroke can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you had a recent stroke or TIA and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to help doctors detect and prevent future strokes.
This trial tests if a smartwatch can accurately measure how often atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) occurs. If you have AFib and can wear a watch, you may help doctors find a simpler way to track your condition.
This trial tests a chest belt that works with your smartphone to track heart rhythms. It may help if you have or might have an irregular heartbeat.
This trial uses a smartphone and smartwatch to track your atrial fibrillation over time. It aims to understand how the condition progresses and the risk of blood clots.
