Smartphone program aims to ease anxiety and improve life for AFib patients
NCT ID NCT06500988
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a digital toolkit called the Corrie Virtual Atrial Fibrillation Management Program, designed to help people with atrial fibrillation learn about treatment options, stick to therapies, and manage episodes. Researchers will enroll 248 adults with AFib and a BMI of 27 or higher to see if the program improves quality of life and reduces the time spent in AFib. The goal is to empower patients to take an active role in their care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Corrie Virtual Atrial Fibrillation Management Program (digital toolkit)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this digital program could help people with atrial fibrillation better manage their condition, improve quality of life, and reduce anxiety during episodes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 2 trial with 248 participants, so results are still early. The digital toolkit may not work for everyone, and benefits may vary based on individual engagement.
