Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Detection Notification

Pulse rate data will be collected from a commercial device worn on the wrist. ECG will be collected from a single lead ambulatory ECG patch worn on the chest. The data from both the commercial wrist-worn device and the ECG patch are not analyzed real-time.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
