Your fitbit could predict heart attacks, new study hopes
NCT ID NCT07401550
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at whether data from a Fitbit smartwatch (like heart rate, sleep, and steps) can help assess heart health and predict the risk of heart disease. Researchers will track 100 adults over time, comparing their wearable data with standard heart health measures. The goal is to see if everyday wearable devices can be a useful tool for heart disease prevention.
