Sticky patch could catch hidden heart problem after stroke
NCT ID NCT07295769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable ECG patch (MEMO Patch) to see if it can detect atrial fibrillation—a heart rhythm issue that raises stroke risk—in 100 people who had a stroke with no known cause. Participants wear the patch for up to 14 days at home, and results are compared with standard monitoring. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive way to diagnose hidden heart problems and guide treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants may take part in this clinical study only if they meet all of the following criteria: 1. Adults aged 19 years or older who voluntarily provide written informed consent to participate in the study 2. Patients diagnosed with ESUS (Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source) 3. Patients who require in-hospital or out-of-hospital electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring Exclusion Criteria: Participants who meet any of the following criteria cannot be enrolled in this clinical study: 1. Individuals already diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter 2. Individuals with a clearly identified cause of stroke 3. Individuals known to have allergic reactions to adhesives or hydrogels 4. Individuals who, in the investigator's judgment, have cognitive vulnerability that makes it difficult to understand the study information and voluntarily decide on participation 5. Any other individuals whom the principal investigator considers to be at potential risk by participating in the study or otherwise unsuitable for participation
