Smartphone heart check after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke or TIA (including temporary vision loss) within the last 2 weeks.
- You have a smartphone and can use the study app (ECG247).
- You live in Norway.
- Your doctor expects you to live at least 6 more months.
- You are not already on blood thinners (like warfarin or apixaban) and have no reason you can't take them.
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- You don't have a pacemaker, ICD, or implanted heart monitor.
- You do not have severe narrowing (over 70%) of the carotid artery on the side of the stroke.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 study tests if using a digital device (like a smartwatch or phone) can help find an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. Finding it early may help prevent stroke, especially in people over 65.
This trial tests a smartphone-based system that helps people who recently had a stroke or TIA manage their risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes after leaving the hospital. It's designed to see if this tool can prevent another stroke.
This study tests a mobile education program for people with atrial fibrillation. If you have an Android smartphone and meet the other criteria, you may be able to join and learn how to manage your condition better.
