What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of ECG recordings from a connected watch compared to standard 12-lead ECGs in patients with various heart conditions. It aims to assess the sensitivity of 1D and 6D ECG recordings in measuring electrical parameters of the heart. Additionally, the study will create a database of ECG tracings to develop and validate an artificial intelligence algorithm for automatic ECG analysis. The participants will include both healthy individuals and those with arrhythmias or other cardiac issues.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance remote monitoring of heart conditions, leading to quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using wearable technology for ECG monitoring, indicating a growing interest and potential in this area.
