A Multimodal Wearable Platform for Heart Failure Disease Stratification

Screening for Heart Failure Using a Multimodal Wearable Device

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to find out if there are any patterns in the way people's bodies react to physical activities and their voices when they have heart failure, a disease where the heart cannot function sufficiently. To do this, the investigators will use a smartwatch that can measure multiple signals like the participant's heart rate and movement. Investigators will ask participants with and without heart failure to wear the Watch HOP (from HOP-Child Technologies Inc.) and sensors during physical tasks at their clinic visit at the McGill University Health Centre. Researchers will also record the participants' voices between their visits. The key signals can help find who is at risk for heart failure or develop new ways to monitor and treat it.
