Smartwatches vs. implants: a cheaper way to catch Stroke-Causing heart flutters?
NCT ID NCT06832579
First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether a smartwatch (Apple Watch or PulseOn) can detect hidden atrial fibrillation (AF) in 84 stroke patients who already have an implanted heart monitor. Participants wear the watch for 12 weeks, and the watch alerts them if it senses an irregular pulse, allowing them to record a quick ECG. The goal is to see how well the watch catches AF episodes compared to the gold-standard implant, potentially offering a less invasive and cheaper monitoring option.
