Testing a new handheld heart monitor
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new handheld ECG device at two Dutch hospitals. It records your heart's electrical activity, but you hold it instead of using sticky patches, to see if it's just as good for checking heart problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You are visiting the outpatient heart clinic at one of the two participating hospitals in the Netherlands
- You either have a known heart condition or you have symptoms that could be heart-related
- The skin on the center of your chest (breastbone area) must be intact – no recent chest surgery, rash, or burns there
- You need to be able to understand and follow the test instructions

This study tests a new way to measure your heart's electrical activity using a smart wristband and chest stickers, aiming to improve how doctors track heart health. The data is analyzed by artificial intelligence to recreate a standard heart test (ECG).
This study is testing a new, simpler ECG device (with only 4 sticky patches) against the standard 10-patch ECG. It's for people with heart conditions who are either in the hospital or visiting a cardiologist, and aims to see if the new device is easier to use and still gives a clear reading.
This study compares a new heart monitor (Heartnote) with standard monitors used in Japan to see which is better at detecting heart rhythm problems. If you have symptoms like palpitations or dizziness and are already being prescribed Heartnote, you may be able to join.
This study is testing whether a connected watch (like a smartwatch) can accurately record your heart's electrical activity (an ECG) during a hospital stay or clinic visit. If it works well, it could make checking your heart easier and more convenient.
This study tests whether using a handheld ECG device at home can help monitor and detect heart rhythm problems in people with unexplained palpitations or dizziness. Participants will use a smartphone-connected device to record their heart's electrical activity and improve diagnosis.
This study tests whether a wearable ECG monitor (a small device that records your heart's electrical signals) can help doctors diagnose reduced blood flow to the heart muscle in people who might have coronary artery disease. If you join, you will wear the monitor during a routine heart test to see if it can detect problems as well as standard methods.
