MobileECG Study

Mobile ECGs in Detection of Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation in High Risk Outpatient Populations

Principal Investigator: Mark Segal, MD, PhD

Co Investigators: Ajay Mittal, Susana Shih, Riken Nathu

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a smartphone-enabled KardiaMobile ECG can accurately detect atrial fibrillation (AF) for patients visiting the UF Health Speciality Clinics. The goal is to identify if this new instrument and its routine rhythm sampling can be utilized as a screening tool in outpatient clinics for patients who are predisposed to cardiovascular disease.

The study involves having patients fill out a 1-page survey form that asks them basic health questions as well as recording a single-lead rhythm strip using the KardiaMobile device. To record the rhythm strip, participants place two fingers from each hand onto the KardiaMobile electrode continuously for 30-seconds. The estimated length for patient enrollment is 5 minutes.

This study seeks to enroll nearly 5,000 participants at the over 5 clinic site locations.
