Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to validate the efficacy of the Hexoskin Medical System (HMS) for its intended use (i.e., manual assessment of cardiac rhythm disturbances) in non-critical adult participants who are suspected of having an arrhythmia or have evidence of arrhythmia requiring monitoring via 24-hour Holter monitor.

Read the detailed description

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Whether the HMS ECG recordings can be used to accurately detect cardiac beats when compared with the Holter monitor
  2. Whether there are good agreements between the HMS and Holter monitor in ECG characteristics
  3. Whether the HMS ECG recordings can be used to accurately classify cardiac rhythm/rhythm disturbance when compared with the Holter monitor
  4. What is the accuracy of using HMS ECG recordings to detect cardiac beats
  5. What is the accuracy of using HMS ECG recordings to identify cardiac rhythm/rhythm disturbance

Participants will wear the HMS and the Holter monitor at the same time to record ECG signals. Researchers will evaluate the ECG recordings acquired from both devices and assess the above questions.

Groups and cohorts

  • Arrhythmia Participant

    Non-critical adult (21 years and older) participants that are suspected of having an arrhythmia or have evidence of arrhythmia requiring monitoring via 24-hour Holter monitor.

    Device: Hexoskin Medical System

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. ECG characteristics measurement agreement

    The agreement (Bland-Altman plots) of Holter monitor(reference standard) and HMS to measure each of the four (4) ECG Characteristics. ECG characteristics measured in this study include: RR Interval (ms), PR Interval (ms), PP Interval (ms), and QRS Duration (ms).

    Time frame: 2 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Heart rate agreement

    The agreement between HR calculated from the recordings acquired by the subject device and the reference Holter monitor.

    Time frame: 2 days

Other outcomes

  1. Cardiac beat detection accuracy

    The sensitivity and PPV of using the subject device recordings to detect cardiac beats.

    Time frame: 2 days

  2. Rhythm identification accuracy

    The sensitivity and PPV of using the subject recordings to identify cardiac rhythm/rhythm disturbances.

    Time frame: 2 days

  3. ECG recording stability

    The stability of the subject device for recording ECG through 24 hours of ambulatory ECG monitoring.

    Time frame: 2 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2023 to primary completion in Feb 2024, 6 months.

Of 62 industry-sponsored observational studies under Arrhythmias, Cardiac, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 53. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 243 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 91.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
