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 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 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.
This study tests a smartwatch app that may help you avoid future heart problems. It is designed for people who are already going through cardiac rehabilitation, which is a program of exercise and education to help your heart get stronger.
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 tests whether a smartwatch can help detect early signs of heart failure worsening by tracking daily health data. If successful, it could help patients avoid hospital stays and manage their condition better at home.
This study uses a smartwatch to track your heart and look for changes in your atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) over time. It aims to learn more about how the condition progresses and the risk of stroke or blood clots, which may help improve future care.
