Brief Summary:
To compare the accuracy of novel smartphone or wearable ECG devices to a gold standard ECG in patients with normal and abnormal ECGs.

Condition or disease
Cardiovascular Diseases

Detailed Description:

Assess the effect of the following on the accuracy of the recorded ECG compared to a gold standard ECG:

  • Posture or position of the patient
  • Movement
  • Amount of hair on the ECG site
  • Skin condition (tone/dryness) Ability to detect a paced rhythm accurately A qualitative assessment of ECG devices, including the amount of artefact in the signal and ease of use of the device

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Accuracy of smartphone or wearable ECG devices compared to gold standard ECG devices [ Time Frame: 2 hours ]
    To compare the accuracy of novel smartphone or wearable ECG devices to a gold standard ECG in patients with normal and abnormal ECGs.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessing the effects on the ECG of: - Posture or position of the patient [ Time Frame: 2 hours ]
    Assessment of changes to the ECG signal due to posture or position of the patient

  2. Assessing the effects on the ECG of: • Movement [ Time Frame: 2 hours ]
    Assessment of changes to the ECG signal due to movement of the patient

  3. Assessing the effects on the ECG of: • Amount of hair on the ECG site [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Assessment of changes to the ECG signal due to amount of hair on the site of ECG electrode positions

  4. Assessing the effects on the ECG of: • Skin condition (tone/dryness) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Assessment of changes to the ECG signal due to different skin conditions on the site of ECG electrode positions

  5. Ability to detect a paced rhythm accurately. [ Time Frame: 2 hours ]
    Assessment of ability of ECG device to detect paced ECG complexes or pacing spikes

  6. A qualitative assessment of ECG devices, including the amount of artefact in the signal and ease of use of the device. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
