Wearable ECG patch gets a brain boost: could it replace the standard 12-Lead?
NCT ID NCT07667465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study aims to improve the accuracy of single-lead ECG recordings from a wearable patch by using a new algorithm that also analyzes heart sounds. Researchers will compare the patch's readings to the standard 12-lead ECG in 50 adults with abnormal heart conduction intervals. The goal is to see if the algorithm can reliably measure key heart timing intervals, potentially making wearable monitoring more reliable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more accurate and convenient heart monitoring using wearable devices, potentially reducing the need for bulky 12-lead ECGs in some cases.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 50 participants. The algorithm may not perform as well in real-world settings or in patients with different heart conditions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years; * Body mass index \< 35 kg/m²; * with stable sinus rhythm; * PR interval, QRS duration, or QT interval were stable and at least one was outside the normal range; * Able to fully understand the purpose and process of the trial, and willing to sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Physical disabilities that prevent safe and thorough testing; * Open wounds on the chest or skin is allergy to patches; * Post-implantation of temporary or permanent cardiac pacemaker, ICD, CRT or CRTD, post-replacement of artificial heart valve, with large amounts of pericardial effusion, pericardial tamponade, pleural friction rub, pneumothorax, large amounts of pleural effusion, etc., which may affect data collection; * Patients with severe comorbidities or unstable condition, which may interfere with data collection during the study period; * Other situations where the investigator believes the subject is not suitable to participate in this trial, such as those that may increase trial risk, affect the protocol compliance, or impair the subject's ability to complete the trial due to physical or psychological diseases or conditions.
