Could a simple Chest-and-Arm patch replace bulky heart monitors?
NCT ID NCT07694570
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new wearable system called M2VS that measures heart activity (ECG) and blood pressure continuously for 24 hours. Researchers want to see if it works as well as standard monitors like Holter ECG and ambulatory blood pressure monitors. The study involves 20 adults with atrial fibrillation or hypertension who already need 24-hour monitoring. The goal is to check how reliable and comfortable the M2VS system is compared to current devices.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- M2VS system (wearable sensor with belt)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more comfortable and convenient ways to monitor heart rhythm and blood pressure continuously during daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study (20 participants) focused on data quality and comfort, not on treating or diagnosing disease. The device may not prove accurate enough to replace standard monitors.

Who is studied
The project population consists of adult participants (≥18 years) recruited at the USB who have a clinical indication for either 24-hour Holter monitoring or 24-hour ABPM. A total of N=20 participants will be enrolled, N=10 for the Holter cohort and N=10 for the ABPM cohort.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent obtained prior to any project-specific procedures. * Age 18 years or older at the time of enrolment. * Ability to provide valid informed consent. * Clinical indication for 24-hour Holter monitoring (Holter cohort) or 24-hour ABPM (ABPM cohort). Exclusion Criteria: * Insufficient knowledge of the German language, preventing adequate understanding of the project procedures and informed consent. * Enrolment of the project leader, project staff, their family members, employees, or other dependent persons. Dermatological and Sensor Placement: * Pre-existing skin conditions at the application sites (medial upper arm or chest), such as extensive scarring, tattoos, open wounds, active inflammation, or severe oedema that could interfere with sensor coupling or signal quality. * Excessive hair at the application site that could interfere with sensor coupling or signal quality. * Presence of other concurrent wearable devices at the same anatomical application site that could interfere with the M2VS system. * Known allergy to skin-contacting materials utilized in the M2VS system.
