About this study

Official title: Non-Invasive Monitoring of Arrhythmias Electrocardiogram (ECG) Using Textile Sensors (MYANT)

The goal of this observational study is to compare the electrocardiogram recording from Holter monitor with textile sensors (in the form of clothing) in patients diagnosed with arrhythmia. The study aims to answer the following questions:

  • Can the textile sensors provide continuous monitoring and detect arrhythmias?
  • Do patients prefer to wear textile sensors instead of the Holter?

Participants that need Holter monitoring as part of their standard care will be invited to participate in the study. They will simultaneously wear both, the Holter monitor and the textile sensors for the time prescribed by their physician. Participants will also be asked to answer a questionnaire in the initial assessment and at the end of the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skiin UnderwearDevice

    Also called PocketECG

    All participants enrolled will wear simultaneously the PocketECG (Standard Holter) and the Skiin Underwear Chestband (wearable textile). Each participant will wear both systems for the duration prescribed by their physician (1 to 14 days).

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in Usable ECG

    The duration of diagnostic ECG from PocketECG minus the duration of diagnostic ECG from Skiin underwear

    Measured: Throughout the entire data collection period, that is between 1 and 14 days

  2. Difference in Heart Rate

    The heart rate obtained from PocketECG minus the heart rate obtained from Skiin underwear

    Measured: Throughout the entire data collection period, that is between 1 and 14 days

  3. Difference in RR intervals

    The RR intervals obtained from PocketECG minus the RR intervals obtained from Skiin underwear

    Measured: Throughout the entire data collection period, that is between 1 and 14 days

  4. Arrhythmic events

    The number and proportion of arrhythmic events obtained by PocketECG and by Skiin underwear

    Measured: Throughout the entire data collection period, that is between 1 and 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient's perception

    A questionnaire developed by Myant containing 10 questions related to the comfort, usability, ease of use and enjoyment will be applied to assess patients' perception of the Skiin underwear and of the PocketECG and to compare both systems, with answers on a 7 point Lickert Scale (from Strongly disagree to Strongly Agree, no numeric scoring).

    Measured: At the end of the study, 1 to 14 days after initiation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrhythmia, run by Myant Medical Corp. at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 26 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Difference in Usable ECG (time frame: Throughout the entire data collection period, that is between 1 and 14 days). The study lists 4 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 26 Feb 2024.
