Can a smart device spot a hidden heart problem?
NCT ID NCT06351761
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a Withings device (BeamO with ECG app) can accurately detect atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. Over 370 adults each had a 30-second ECG with the device and a standard 12-lead ECG for comparison. The goal was to see how well the device identifies AFib versus normal rhythm.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Withings SCT02 device with ECG app
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a convenient way for people to check for atrial fibrillation at home using a simple device.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed validation study, not a treatment trial. The device may not be as accurate as a standard ECG, and results may not apply to everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female who are 22 years of age or older * Subject able to read, understand, and provide written informed consent * Subject willing and able to participate in the study procedures as described in the consent form * Subject able to communicate effectively with and willing to follow instructions from the study staff Exclusion Criteria: * Subject with an implanted electrical device (i.e. pacemaker, ICD …), whether active or inactive * Pathologic disorders that may affect motricity resulting in significant hands tremor that prevents subject from being able to hold still (e.g. Parkinson disease) * Myocardial Infarction (MI) within 90 days prior to the enrollment * Pulmonary embolism or pulmonary infarction within 90 days prior to the enrollment * Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 90 days prior to the enrollment * Active or history of life-threatening rhythms as determined by investigators (e.g. ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, 3rd degree heart block) * Any cardiovascular disease that investigators would consider as a risk to subject or renders data uninterpretable (e.g. recent or ongoing unstable angina, decompensated heart failure, active myocarditis or pericarditis) * Active or symptomatic skin disease on Schiller electrode attachment sites or fingertips which would be in contact with BeamO electrodes (e.g. eczema, rosacea, impetigo, dermatomyositis or allergic contact dermatitis) * Known sensitivity to medical adhesives, isopropyl alcohol,, electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes, including known allergy or sensitivity to stainless steel (used in BeamO electrodes).
