Using wearable heart patches to find irregular heartbeats in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small, wearable heart patch can help find an irregular heartbeat condition called atrial fibrillation in older adults living in the community. It aims to catch this condition early, which may help prevent serious complications like stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years of age or older.
- You must not have been previously diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
- You must be willing to wear a small patch on your chest that records your heart's rhythm continuously.
- You should not have a severe heart condition or an acute illness that would interfere with the monitoring.
- You must be able to understand the study and give written consent.

This study tests whether wearing a small patch on the chest for a few weeks can find hidden irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in people with higher stroke risk. Finding it early may help prevent strokes.
This study tests a wearable heart monitor (ECG) to detect an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, which can raise stroke risk. It checks if this device can help find stroke risk early so you can get the right care.
This study looks at early changes in the heart related to atrial fibrillation (AF) using health data and biomarkers. It aims to find better ways to predict or understand AF, especially around procedures like ablation or cardioversion.
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 wearing a small heart rhythm patch at home can detect irregular heartbeats in people with high blood pressure. It may help catch heart rhythm problems early before they cause symptoms.
This study tests a way to find early signs of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people with heart failure. It aims to catch this condition sooner so that treatment can start faster and improve overall health.
