Wearable heart monitor works during scans, study finds
NCT ID NCT07714109
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-lead wearable Holter monitor can be worn during MRI, CT, X-ray, and echocardiography without affecting image quality or the device's ability to record heart signals. Researchers will enroll 500 adults who need these imaging exams and will check for equipment failures, signal interference, or side effects. The goal is to see if combining heart monitoring with routine scans can shorten hospital visits and catch more heart rhythm problems.
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 show that wearable heart monitors can be used safely during common imaging tests, making heart monitoring more convenient and improving arrhythmia detection.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early compatibility study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove clinical benefit, and results might not apply to all patients or devices.
