Can a Wrist-Worn sensor outsmart atrial fibrillation?
NCT ID NCT07749183
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a machine-learning algorithm can detect atrial fibrillation (AF) early by analyzing pulse wave signals from a wearable sensor. The study involves 200 adults with heart failure, comparing the algorithm's readings against standard ECG results. If it works, this could allow continuous, non-invasive monitoring to catch AF sooner and help prevent complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A machine-learning algorithm that analyzes photoplethysmography (PPG) signals to detect irregular heart rhythms associated with atrial fibrillation.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could enable early detection of atrial fibrillation during routine remote monitoring, potentially reducing stroke risk and improving heart failure management.
- What could go wrong
- The algorithm is still being validated; its accuracy may not hold up in real-world settings, and false alarms or missed detections could limit its usefulness.
