First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a wearable sensor can accurately estimate the heart's pumping ability (LVEF) compared to standard ultrasound. Researchers will enroll 500 adults already scheduled for an echocardiogram. The goal is to develop a simpler, more accessible way to monitor heart function in conditions like heart failure.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adults (≥18 years) recruited from participating cardiology clinics. Participants are assigned to one of three cohorts by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE): Healthy (no known structural heart disease; LVEF ≥ 55%), Borderline/Possibly reduced LVEF (LVEF 40-54% or clinical concern for decline), and Reduced LVEF (LVEF \< 40%). The population is intended to span the full spectrum of systolic function for model training and evaluation.
