About this study

Official title: A Real-World Validation Study of Intermittent Photoplethysmography Based Rhythm Monitoring for Atrial Fibrillation Detection

Mobile health solutions for rhythm monitoring (e.g. atrial fibrillation detection) using photoplethysmography (PPG) technology on a smartphone have been developed. This study validates the performance of a digital health application (FibriCheck®) using PPG technology on a smartphone against a single-lead ECG device (Kardia Mobile®).

What participants receive

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

  • Heart rhythm measurements with FibriCheck®Diagnostic test

    Measurements are performed twice daily, starting 4 weeks before a pulmonary vein isolation procedure (PVI) and ending 4 weeks after the PVI.

  • Heart rhythm measurements with Kardia Mobile®Diagnostic test

    Measurements are performed immediately before and after every FibriCheck® measurement.

Receives: Diagnostic Test: Heart rhythm measurements with FibriCheck®; Diagnostic Test: Heart rhythm measurements with Kardia Mobile®

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity

    Proportion of true positives tests with FibriCheck® out of all patients with AF on Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  2. Specificity

    Proportion of true negative tests with FibriCheck® out of all patients in sinus rhythm on Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  3. Overall accuracy (proportion of correct classifications)

    Proportion of correct classifications with FibriCheck®. Correct classification is provided by Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Positive predictive value

    Positive predictive value of FibriCheck® measurements relative to Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  2. Negative predictive value

    Negative predictive value of FibriCheck® measurements relative to Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  3. Sensitivity by heart rate interval

    Proportion of true positives tests with FibriCheck® out of all patients with AF on Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  4. Specificity by heart rate interval

    Proportion of true negative tests with FibriCheck® out of all patients in sinus rhythm on Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  5. Accuracy by heart rate interval

    Proportion of correct classifications with FibriCheck®. Correct classification is provided by Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  6. Proportion of PPG measurements of insufficient quality for rhythm analysis

    PPG measurements by FibriCheck®.

    Measured: Two months

  7. Proportion of ECG measurements of insufficient quality for rhythm analysis

    ECG measurements by Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

  8. Proportion of PPG measurements of insufficient quality for rhythm analysis by heart rate interval

    PPG measurements by FibriCheck®.

    Measured: Two months

  9. Proportion of ECG measurements of insufficient quality for rhythm analysis by heart rate interval

    ECG measurements by Kardia Mobile®.

    Measured: Two months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Heart rhythm measurements with FibriCheck® and Heart rhythm measurements with Kardia Mobile® in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg at 1 site in Belgium.

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 3 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 Oct 2023. 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 Belgium. 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?

Sensitivity (time frame: Two months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06028893, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Oct 2023.
