AI-Powered smartwatches could cut hospital readmissions after heart attacks
NCT ID NCT07288229
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a smartwatch combined with artificial intelligence can improve recovery for people who have had a heart attack. 200 adults aged 18-75 who recently had a heart attack and a stent placed will wear a smartwatch that tracks health data. The AI analyzes this data and gives personalized advice on medications, diet, and activity. The goal is to see if this approach reduces unplanned hospital readmissions and improves heart function over three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- wearable device with AI-guided data analysis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a personalized, AI-driven approach to monitor and manage heart attack recovery at home, potentially reducing the need for hospital readmission.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (200 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The technology depends on patients consistently wearing the device and following recommendations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 75 years. * Confirmed diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including both ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). * Underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during index hospitalization. * Hemodynamically stable at the time of hospital discharge. * Willing and able to wear a smartwatch continuously for the study period. * Compatible with the data collection application and have stable internet access. Exclusion Criteria: * Planned staged or elective PCI or any coronary revascularization scheduled within 3 months after discharge. * Unable to tolerate or contraindicated for wearing metal or electronic monitoring devices. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Residence in an area without stable network connectivity or inability to use a smartphone for data upload and communication. * Severe comorbidities that limit 3-month survival or follow-up.
