Can a smartwatch make virtual heart rehab work better?
NCT ID NCT07322510
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a medical-grade smartwatch (CardioWatch 287-2) can improve a 13-week virtual cardiac rehab program for people with heart disease. About 216 participants will either use the watch or not, and researchers will compare their progress in areas like exercise, diet, and quality of life. The goal is to see if the watch helps doctors provide better remote care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 wearable device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a wearable device helps make virtual cardiac rehab as effective as in-person programs, leading to better heart health for more patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study comparing two non-randomized groups, so results may not be definitive. The device may be uncomfortable or difficult to use, and not all phones are compatible.
