Can a Chest-Strap wearable match the gold standard for heart monitoring?
NCT ID NCT07772817
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a chest-strap ECG wearable, the Frontier X Plus, can accurately detect heart rhythm problems compared to the standard MoMe ARC patch monitor. About 15 active adults who are already prescribed a heart monitor will wear both devices at the same time. Researchers will compare how well the two devices agree on detecting events like atrial fibrillation, premature beats, and rapid heart rhythms. The goal is to see if the chest-strap could be a reliable, more comfortable alternative for monitoring heart health during exercise.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Frontier X Plus chest-strap ECG device
- What this could lead to
- If the chest-strap monitor proves as accurate as the standard patch, it could offer a more comfortable and practical way for active people to track heart rhythms during daily life and exercise.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The chest-strap device might not match the patch's accuracy for all heart rhythm events, and wearing it during exercise could be challenging.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult participants (\>22 years; Frontier X is approved for use in this age group) who participate in \>4 days a week of \>150 minutes total per week of moderate to high intensity exercise who were prescribed a ambulatory ECG monitor for clinical purposes for 24 hours or more. * Patients must agree to wear the Frontier X monitor for the prescribed duration and use the Frontier X Plus application Exclusion Criteria: * Current use of Implanted Cardiac Devices * Pregnancy * Known allergies to any of the materials listed in the "List of Patient-Contacting Materials" * Presence of skin injuries or broken skin in the area where the chest strap is worn * Inability to use a compatible mobile device required for the operation of the study device * Any cognitive or physical limitations that, in the opinion of the investigator, limits the participant's ability to fully follow study procedures * Medical restrictions on exercise for safety including cardiac, orthopedic or other relevant past medical history
