Using a smartwatch to check heart health
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a Fitbit smartwatch to track your heart activity and predict your risk for heart problems. You might help researchers learn how everyday wearable devices can spot early signs of heart disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have internet access
- You have a smartphone that works with the Fitbit app
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a serious medical condition that is not well controlled
- You can give permission to be in the study
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to follow instructions
- You can wear a smartwatch on your wrist (no allergies or tattoos that interfere)

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 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 smartwatch to track your recovery and help prevent future heart problems after you finish a cardiac rehab program. Researchers will see if the watch helps catch early warning signs and reduce the chance of a relapse.
This study asks heart failure patients to wear a fitness tracker (like Fitbit or Apple Watch) and use a smartphone app called HeartBit to share health data with researchers. The goal is to learn whether tracking daily activity, heart rate, and sleep can help catch heart problems early or improve care.
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 trial tests if a wearable device can help detect, screen, and manage serious health problems like heart disease and stroke in people aged 40 to 68. If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoking history, you may be able to join and help improve early detection.
