About this study
Official title: Pattern Recognition in Heart Rate Variability Using Fitness Trackers in Cardiovascular Disease
The goal of this observational cohort study is to investigate the potential of fitness trackers in combination with machine learning algorithms to identify cardiovascular disease specific patterns.
Two hundred participants will be enrolled:
- 50 with heart failure
- 50 with atrial fibrillation
- 100 (healthy) individuals without the former two conditions
All participants are given a Fitbit device and monitored for three months. Researchers will compare differences in heart rate variability patterns between the groups and devise a machine learning algorithm to detect these patterns automatically.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure, Systolic, run by HagaZiekenhuis at 1 site in Netherlands.
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 3 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 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 Netherlands. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Cardiovascular disease detection with an AI algorithm (time frame: Three months). 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 7 Apr 2023.
