Testing nursing assistants performing ECGs in the emergency department
This study tests whether nursing assistants can perform electrocardiograms (ECGs) in the emergency department as well as usual staff. If you are an adult ER patient needing an ECG, you might be eligible.

Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older) in the emergency department.

- You must not have a pacemaker.
- You must be able to give your own consent.

This study looks at whether using electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken outside the hospital by emergency medical services (SAMU) helps speed up care for heart attack patients. If you had a specific type of heart attack called STEMI and were treated by SAMU 91 in France, your data may help improve emergency dispatch strategies.
This trial uses an AI tool called DeepECG to analyze ECG (heart electrical activity) recordings to quickly identify hidden heart problems. It helps doctors spot structural heart disease faster and guide you to the right care.
This trial is testing a new handheld ECG device to see if it works well for patients with known heart conditions or symptoms that might be heart-related. If you qualify, using this simple device could help monitor your heart health more easily.
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 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 tests a new ECG-based technology that may help doctors more quickly sort out the cause of your chest pain in the emergency room. If you have chest pain that needs checking, this tool could help decide how urgent your care is.
