What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. SENSITIVITY OF IRREGULAR RHYTHM NOTIFICATION FEATURE [IRNF]

    Sensitivity of the irregular rhythm notification for the identification of persons with AF by 13-day ambulatory ECG, with AF defined as at least 30 seconds of AF by ambulatory ECG. Sensitivity is defined as the percentage of subjects exhibiting AF on the ambulatory ECG who also received an irregular rhythm notification concordant with at least one episode of AF.

    Measured: 13 DAYS

  2. SPECIFICITY OF LACK OF IRREGULAR RHYTHM NOTIFICATIONS FEATURE [IRNF]

    Specificity of the lack of irregular rhythm notification for the identification of persons without AF by 13-day ambulatory ECG, with AF defined as at least 30 seconds of AF by ambulatory ECG. Specificity is defined as the percentage of subjects not exhibiting AF on the ambulatory ECG who also did not receive any irregular rhythm notifications.

    Measured: 13 DAYS

  3. WEEKLY ATRIAL FIBRILLATION BURDEN FEATURE ESTIMATE [AFBF]

    Weekly AF burden estimate defined as the percentage of time a subject is in Atrial Fibrillation during wrist device wear over the prior 7 consecutive days. The weekly AF burden was estimated by both the reference device and the algorithm and reported using the Bland-Altman limits of Agreement.

    Measured: 13 DAYS

    Measured: 13 DAYS

  11. TACHOGRAM NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE [IRNF]

    Measured: 13 days

  14. TACHOGRAM POSITIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE [AFBF]

    Positive Predictive Value of tachograms for the identification of AF by ambulatory ECG.

    Measured: 13 days

  15. TACHOGRAM NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE [AFBF]

    Negative Predictive Value of tachograms for the identification of AF by ambulatory ECG.

    Measured: 13 days

  16. DAY-SPECIFIC AF BURDEN ESTIMATE [AFBF]

    Day-specific AF burden estimate defined as the percentage of time a subject is in Atrial Fibrillation during a specific day of the week.

    Measured: 13 DAYS

  17. FOUR-HOUR SEGMENT SPECIFIC AF BURDEN ESTIMATE [AFBF]

    Four-hour segment-specific AF burden estimate defined as the percentage of time a subject is in Atrial Fibrillation during a specific four-hour segment of a day

    Measured: 13 DAYS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (ECG) PATCH WEAR in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Apple Inc. at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Aug 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SENSITIVITY OF IRREGULAR RHYTHM NOTIFICATION FEATURE [IRNF] (time frame: 13 DAYS). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
