Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Screening Participants will be assigned a screening number in the order in which informed consent is obtained. Through interviews and review of previous medical records, demographic information, medical history, surgical/procedural history, prior medications, and other required assessment items will be collected. Eligibility for study participation will be determined by reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
2. Visit 1 (In-Hospital Telemetry Monitoring) Eligible participants will be fitted with the investigational medical device, MEMO Patch M, and will undergo in-hospital telemetry monitoring using MEMO Cue for a minimum of 12 hours and up to 8 days. A 24-hour Holter monitor will also be applied after admission. Prior to discharge, participants will review the MEMO Patch M (in-hospital telemetry) results to determine whether ILR implantation is required.
3. Discharge (First ECG Monitoring) At discharge, participants who were not detected with atrial fibrillation using the Holter ECG or MEMO Patch M will receive an Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR). Participants in whom atrial fibrillation is detected will not receive ILR implantation. Regardless of ILR implantation, all participants will wear MEMO Patch2 and undergo additional ECG monitoring for up to 14 days after discharge. After the scheduled monitoring period ends, MEMO Patch2 will be returned using the Huinno courier service.
4. Visit 2 (Review of First ECG Monitoring Results - 1-Month Visit) At the 1-month outpatient visit, participants will review the results of the first ECG monitoring. They will then undergo a second monitoring period by wearing MEMO Patch2 for up to 14 days. After completing the scheduled monitoring period, MEMO Patch2 will be returned using the Huinno courier service.
5. Visit 3 (Review of Second ECG Monitoring Results - 3-Month Visit) At the 3-month outpatient visit, participants will review the results of the second ECG monitoring. After this visit, participation in the clinical study will be completed.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
MEMO Patch Long-Term Monitoring(MEMO Patch M, MEMO Patch2)
Participants in this arm will undergo long-term ECG monitoring using MEMO Patch M during hospitalization and MEMO Patch2 after discharge. 24-hour Holter monitoring will also be performed, and ILR implantation will be assessed before discharge.
MEMO Patch M and MEMO Patch2
During hospitalization, participants will wear MEMO Patch M, a single-lead wearable ECG patch, for 12 hours to up to 8 days. A 24-hour Holter monitor will also be performed during hospitalization. Before discharge, investigators will review the MEMO Patch M and Holter results to assess the need for implantable loop recorder (ILR) implantation. At the time of discharge, participants will wear MEMO Patch2 for up to 14 days for the first ECG monitoring period. One month after discharge, participants will undergo the second ECG monitoring period with MEMO Patch2 for up to 14 days.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. Adults aged 19 years or older who voluntarily provide written informed consent to participate in the study
2. Patients diagnosed with ESUS (Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source)
3. Patients who require in-hospital or out-of-hospital electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring
Exclusion Criteria
1. Individuals already diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
2. Individuals with a clearly identified cause of stroke
3. Individuals known to have allergic reactions to adhesives or hydrogels
4. Individuals who, in the investigator's judgment, have cognitive vulnerability that makes it difficult to understand the study information and voluntarily decide on participation
5. Any other individuals whom the principal investigator considers to be at potential risk by participating in the study or otherwise unsuitable for participation
