Stroke risk check for older adults at risk of atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at older adults who are at higher risk of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that can lead to strokes). It tests whether a smartwatch or smartphone app can help detect this condition early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 to 95 years old
- You have certain risk factors for atrial fibrillation (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart failure) that give you a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or more
- You have not been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation before
- You have not had a stroke before
- You are able to use a smartphone, or a caregiver can help you
- You are not taking blood thinners (anticoagulants)

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.
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 study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to read your heart's electrical activity (ECG) to help doctors better manage your atrial fibrillation (AFib), an irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. By combining the ECG with a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram), the AI aims to improve treatment decisions and outcomes.
This trial uses a special long-term heart monitor (one wire) that uses artificial intelligence to find new cases of atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase stroke risk. If you're 60 or older and haven't had AF before, this study could help catch it early.
This study tests whether using a smartwatch to track how much time your heart is in AFib each day can help guide treatment. It aims to see if keeping AFib episodes low leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether a smartwatch can accurately measure how much time you spend in atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). By wearing a smartwatch, you may help find an easier way to track your condition without frequent clinic visits.
