NCT ID NCT07564349
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares six different ECG patches that people wear for a week to monitor heart rhythms. Researchers want to see which patches give the clearest and most useful recordings. The study involves 150 adults aged 65 and older who already need heart monitoring as part of their regular care.
