Could an 8-Day heart patch prevent your next stroke?
NCT ID NCT05355948
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether wearing a small heart monitor (MEMO Patch PLUS) for 8 to 14 days finds more cases of hidden atrial fibrillation than wearing it for just 1 day. About 1,000 adults aged 75 or older (or with other stroke risk factors) wore the patch. The goal was to see if longer monitoring leads to earlier diagnosis and treatment to prevent strokes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MEMO Patch PLUS (wearable heart monitor)
What this could lead to
If longer monitoring detects more hidden atrial fibrillation, it could help prevent strokes by guiding earlier treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but the benefit depends on whether catching more brief heart rhythm problems actually reduces strokes in practice.
