About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the time required to record a complete Electrocardiogram (ECG) trace using the DigitalCardio (CardioSecur®) tablet device versus a standard 12-lead ECG device in eligible patients.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
Is there a difference in diagnostic recording time (in minutes) between the DigitalCardio tablet and a standard ECG machine? How do the two devices compare in terms of trace quality (including QRS duration, QT interval, frontal axis measurements, and missing/erroneous leads)? How satisfied are healthcare professionals with the CardioSecur® device?
Researchers will compare Group A (standard 10-electrode ECG followed by 4-electrode ECG) to Group B (4-electrode ECG followed by standard 10-electrode ECG) in a 1:1 randomized crossover design to evaluate recording efficiency and trace quality.
Participants will:
Complete an initial screening visit with the principal investigator to review eligibility criteria and sign the informed consent form.
Be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to either Group A or Group B. Undergo both ECG recording methods sequentially (a standard 10-electrode ECG and a 4-electrode ECG using the DigitalCardio tablet), while researchers measure the total time elapsed from electrode placement to obtaining a complete trace.
Read the detailed description
This study is a randomized, crossover clinical trial designed to compare the efficiency, trace quality, and user satisfaction of a novel 4-electrode tablet-based Electrocardiogram (ECG) system (DigitalCardio / CardioSecur®) against a standard 12-lead (10-electrode) ECG device.
Background and Rationale
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental diagnostic tool used to record the electrical activity of the heart. Conventional 12-lead ECGs require placing 10 individual electrodes on a patient's limbs and chest while the patient is lying down. While highly detailed, electrode placement and device setup can be time-consuming in clinical workflows. The DigitalCardio tablet system utilizes a simplified 4-electrode setup designed to streamline data acquisition without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
Study Design and Procedures
After an initial screening process led by the principal investigator, eligible participants receive detailed study information and provide written informed consent. Enrolled participants are then randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two sequence groups to control for order effects:
*Group A:Undergoes standard 10-electrode ECG acquisition first, followed immediately by 4-electrode DigitalCardio acquisition.
Group B: Undergoes 4-electrode DigitalCardio acquisition first, followed immediately by standard 10-electrode ECG acquisition.
To maintain consistency, both ECG recordings for a given participant are performed by the same healthcare operator within a minimal time interval.
Key Measurements
- Diagnostic Time:Research staff record the exact time elapsed (in minutes) from the initiation of electrode placement to the successful capture of a complete ECG trace for both devices.
- Trace Quality and Concordance:Printed and anonymized ECG traces are submitted to independent evaluators. Evaluators independently assess trace quality based on standardized criteria, comparing automated measurements (frontal axis, median QRS duration, and QT interval) and counting any missing or erroneous leads.
- Healthcare Professional Satisfaction:Participating healthcare professionals complete a structured questionnaire evaluating user satisfaction and usability of the CardioSecur® device in routine practice.
- Conditions
- 4-electrode Tablet-based Electrocardiogram (ECG) System, Electrical Activity of the Heart, Atrial or Ventricular Arrhythmias, Intracardiac Conduction Abnormalities, QT Interval Prolongation, Myocardial Ischemia
- Being tested
- standard 10-electrode ECG acquisition, 4-electrode DigitalCardio acquisition
- Keywords
- 4-electrode tablet-based Electrocardiogram (ECG) system, standard 12-lead (10-electrode) ECG device
- Medical subject headings
- Myocardial Ischemia

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for Quantitative ECG Parameters
Degree of agreement for quantitative clinical parameters (e.g., QRS duration, QT interval, frontal axis measurements) automatically provided by both the 4-electrode DigitalCardio® system and the standard 12-lead ECG device.
Unit of Measure: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) (ranging from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate better agreement)
Measured: 1 day
Diagnostic Concordance for Cardiac Pathology

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing standard 10-electrode ECG acquisition and 4-electrode DigitalCardio acquisition in people with 4-electrode Tablet-based Electrocardiogram (ECG) System and Electrical Activity of the Heart, run by Clinique Bizet at 2 sites in France.
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 10 inclusion and 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Bouchra BENKESSOU Chef de projet Recherche Clinique (+33 7 64 48 60 16, b.benkessou@hexagone-sante-paris.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Comparison of Procedure Time Between 4-Electrode DigitalCardio® ECG and Standard 12-Lead ECG (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT07732283, which also lists 24 linked publications.
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 11 Sep 2026.
