Smartphone camera test for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 22 years of age or older
- Own a smartphone and know how to use apps
- Be able to read and understand English, and sign a consent form
- Be a cardiology patient visiting the outpatient heart clinic
- Have had persistent atrial fibrillation or another type of irregular heartbeat

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 app (FibriCheck) can accurately track heart rhythm recovery after a cardioversion procedure. If you join, you will use the app at home to measure your heart rhythm, which may reduce the need for frequent clinic visits.
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 trial uses a simple, handheld ECG device (like a small card) to check your risk for atrial fibrillation, a common irregular heartbeat. You'll record short heart tracings at home, and the study team will review them to find hidden risk factors.
This trial tests a mobile education program on a smartphone to help you learn about and manage your atrial fibrillation. If found helpful, it could improve your symptoms and quality of life.
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.
